I wouldn’t build a CTA line. It should be a separate line, separate operator like the STAR Line that was studied years ago. But even that I wouldn’t support, given the high cost and the weaksauce development that Schaumburg calls “walkable” at the old Motorola campus. If that’s the best they can do on density, then no rail for them.

The best thing is to keep investing in the I-90 bus system and add bus lanes/proper shelters like the Pulse routes where the buses diverge from the highway. While we’re at it, how about moving the Schaumburg bus terminal onto mall property instead of 1/2 mile away across a major arterial?
