Are you in STL or back in DC??
Back on topic, I was thinking of"Increase the price of driving--ie tolls on all expressways, etc" but the best way is to destroy all of the (intertstate)highways in the city, but that wont happen.
Possible these two are the best way, Build new lines, ie Circle Line/ Mid-city line, STAR Metra line
Extend more of the current CTA/Metra lines further outward
(you should of made the choices, so we could vote more than 1).
Merge the CTA with Metra into 1 organization with 1 fare system. Horrible, everyoone is going to pay more than they are going for, but do this and destroy the highways = good. Finally a US major city without highways!! lol.... If this day come, I will for ever be great full. Plus, little pollution.
I am going to pick, Extend more of the current CTA/Metra lines further outward +
Build new lines, ie Circle Line/ Mid-city line, STAR Metra line, however, since its only one choice I pick Build new lines, ie Circle Line/ Mid-city line, STAR Metra line.
