I imagine so. There's going to be a lot happening at 2 pm in the fed court today, check out @jonseidel.bsky.social with the Sun-Times or @jmetr22b.bsky.social with the Trib. I'll also try to cover but have to split time between multiple hearings at 2.

Imagine one app to plan your trip, pay your fare, and transfer across CTA, Metra, and Pace. Seamless travel for all Chicagoland riders is possible if the General Assembly passes a sustainable transit solution. Sign a letter to your legislator at SaveTransitNow.org 📲
