Details on CTA’s Ashland Bus Rapid Transit Plans
Streetsblog Chicago’s John Greenfield sat down with representatives from the CTA and CDOT yesterday to get more details on the agencies’ newly-announced plans for Bus Rapid Transit on Ashland.
If the city manages to pull this off, we’d be home to the country’s first “gold-standard” BRT line at a cost of just $116 million for the first segment. That’s pretty cheap when you consider that a single elevated heavy rail station can run up to $203 million.
