Coming Soon: Longer Ride, More Discomfort


Two hour rides with bruised knees

Apparently the ChicaGO DASH "powers that be" aren't yet satisfied with taking a good concept down a few notches with the purchase of poorly designed buses (purchased, of course, with taxpayer money).  Now, as reported in local Northwest Indiana newspapers, the government officials who brought to you ridicuously uncomfortable buses, now want to add a stop in another city to cram more riders on these buses.

Of course, adding another stop will make the trip between Valparaiso and Chicago.  Currently, this trip runs well over an hour.  The real problem though is putting more riders on buses that seem to be designed by a group of old Soviet engineers.  Had someone thought about rider comfort and safety, filling every seat wouldn't be a problem.
