I've been here 3 weeks. And while I'm infuriated by some things about living here, I'm also finding little quirks of Chicago life that make me smile.

My favorite? Carrying my wallet with CTA Plus card in my back pocket and paying my train fare with my butt.

So what silly things make you all grin?

Seeing other people butt-tap the CTA.

Default It's all in how you phrase it...

You can thank the long staircases w/o escalators for helping to keep your fare paying butt a little thing...


Just kidding.


CTA had not been partcularly keen on technology until about 5 years ago. It seems they have done a lot to leverage technology lately. I do notice a lot more folks waiting for buses on the northside using the smart phone apps vs people still running out to about the middle of south State St to check on how far off a bus is. I wonder which routes are most popular for "arrival time queries"?
