This blog was borne out of the frustration many riders feel over the fundamental deficiencies built into the buses bought by the City of Valparaiso and the subsequent shoulder shrug we've received when we try to discuss these issues with the City. No one should have to sit in discomfort for the long ride between Valparaiso and Chicago. Yet that's what we now have to do every day. Do City officials really care about the quality of the services they provide or is it just talk?

Will Valparaiso Do The Right Thing?
The ChicaGO Dash bus service between Valparaiso and Chicago started on the right foot but screwed up when it purchased its own poorly designed buses. The three buses comprising the fleet cost approximately $2.4 million of taxpayer funds. For that much of our money, you'd think the buses would be safe and comfortable. Unfortunately, they're neither. This site is set up to remind ourselves of the perils that we face when government officials don't understand a service they're launching. It's a long shot, but maybe Valparaiso City officials will do the right thing and address the concerns riders have with the Chicago DASH service.
