There is no last stop of the night. The Red Line is 24/7.

We are circular, as in semi-circular. The fact of the matter is if Chicago became dense in all areas of the city, a north/south CTA train would be even more necessary in the western portion of the city.

I have no idea why people think that traffic in the western portion of the city does not affect them if they live near the lake.
