CTA board approves no fare increase in 2026 budget, questions when new transit bill money will come

I'm kinda stoked they didn't increase fares this time round 🤩, but at the same time, it's pretty weird that they're gonna be short on cash by next year 🤑. I mean, think about it - if they don't get that $300 million until mid-2026, does that really give them enough wiggle room to make some real changes? Maybe we should've seen a fare hike instead of just cutting the funding altogether? It's like they're trying to squeeze every last penny out of us commuters without actually giving us anything in return 😒. And what about all those promises for new projects and upgrades? Are we gonna have to wait even longer for that? 🚂
