Valparaiso's ChicagoDASH "Express" Bus Service to downtown Chicago will soon be less of an express if it adds another stop in another city along the way. Currently, the travel times between Valpo and Chicago on the ChicagoDASH can approach two hours (see the ChicagoDASH bus schedule). The addition of another stop will significantly increase the time commuters sit on these rather uncomfortable buses.
The reasons for this decision are unclear at best, especially in light of recent news reports about ridership being at all-time highs.
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?
