Survey - Help Improve Chicago's Bus Service
|
|
|
Bus ridership has been declining significantly over the last several years. Why are fewer people riding the bus? There are many reasons for this decline, but many believe the central problem is that buses are often slow and unreliable. As a result, many are choosing alternative options when it comes to getting around the city.
How do you feel about Chicago's bus service? Share your thoughts by taking this survey from
Active Transportation Alliance.
