much snipped
Last week Pace Express Bus got plus $16, Metra BSMF minus $22 and CTA minus $8 from me.
BSMF must promote their maggot suburban staff on seniority from freight yards. Maggot tried to save $5 in air cond. for Buffet by closing TWO frickin cars on an express Saturday from Union Sta.
It may have also saved a crew member which translates into real
dollars.

At least close off the FARTHEST 2 cars from the entry gate, NOT the FIRST 2 cars near the station, which forces any poor ADA wheelchairs to roll 2 blocks to the only accessible car.
In contrast, Union Pacific ALWAYS has the cars nearest the station open at OTC. The car at the end of the train next to the engine may be closed, sometimes.
I'm glad to have the option of the Pace Express Bus during the work week.
Oh, and the bozo trainman did open the 2 BSMF cars eventually.
BSMF is still pulling the same crap at Union Station. Just a reminder to other states, NEVER use BNSF tracks or crews for commuter lines.
We now know the names of the Warren Buffet flunkies who are robbing the sales tax payers of NE IL.:
DJ Mitchell, assistant vice president of passenger operations at BNSF Railway.
Mechanical Department Superintendent of Field Operations Sherwin Hudson.
No wonder "DJ" only uses his initials, I'd be embarrassed too if I ran this crappy service.
