I live on the north side of Chicago and, to be honest, one of my favorite modes of public transit is the express buses that go from Edgewater/Uptown to downtown. It's MUCH faster than the train, because once it hits the highway, it doesn't stop till it gets downtown. Dont get me wrong I love the train, but the red line suffers from the same too-many-stops problem. Express buses thread the needle imo precisely because they hook into existing infrastructure (highways) and still move masses of people
