An Open Letter to the CTA

Dear CTA,

We both know I'm one for excitement. I mean, come on. I wouldn't partake in your services were I not!

However, I don't know how appreciative I am of times when the El car I am on catches fire. Smoke is cool and flames can be sometimes, but still...endangering passengers lives is not.

Be thankful that Chicago residents are dull and robotic when they ride the El, otherwise, rather than calmly exiting the car and complacently standing on the platform, we would have rioted and set fire to more of your cars as you rolled away with a cloud of smoke trailing behind you.

Best wishes,
CC
