Congrats on 8 years. Just crossed my 10 year anniversary mark. Still dispatching the floor and CTO trying to train our future!

You hit my YouTube recommended page. Glad I found you cause this video was the perfect balance of getting to nerd out about Chicago transit & hate on the current administration 😆

Excellent point. I’m sympathetic to their infrastructure not being the same as the north. But I feel like the throw-in-the-towel approach thus far of “well we can’t plow, can’t salt, let’s just all stay home and close the roads!” isn’t the only feasible approach. Do some trial runs of something!

You’d think they’d prepare by getting fleets of snow plows, maybe? Don’t have any contingency plans for severe winter weather, just completely grind to a halt 🤷🏼‍♂️
