Well, I knew it was too good to be true.

Last night, I left work on my bike and rode up to Logan Boulevard, like I usually do.  I saw a CTA bus coming, so I stopped at the north bus stop (the northbound Milwaukee Ave bus stops on the north and south sides of Logan; it's part of the Boulevards system.  I don't know if they didn't see me or not, but TWO of them passed me in succession.

I wasn't happy to say the least.  Especially since I recognized the second driver, and he's usually pretty good about stopping.  Heck, CTA is incredibly good about stopping, they're nowhere NEAR as bad as LA's MTA.

I rode my bike up to the Blue Line station, called the CTA complaint line and sent a Howler, and then took the L up to Jeff Park, where there's a bus station.  I got there just as the buses came in.  I went to the super's closet and spoke to them, saying that I got passed by two buses, and while I wasn't too pissed off about it, at least it was a decent night (the heat broke yesterday) and it wasn't pouring or the dead of winter.  I saw one of them go off and talk to the driver, but I was still annoyed about it.

As I told the super, I expected this treatment from LA bus drivers, not Chicago's.
