If you want better transit in your city: https://forms.gle/CsfQuHABB5HNUmzv7 Stormy Kara's AMAZING video about Western + Ashland BRT: https://youtu.be/s7ep_4jumfw?si=2slt9tu-UDxtukDj Follow on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theflyingmooseca/ To learn more about the economic history surrounding Chicago and the Midwest: https://bookshop.org/a/103227/9780393308730 (affiliate link) I cannot understate how challenging this video was to make - and I'm sure I still missed a ton. #Chicago has a truly complex yet illustrious history, something reflected in the convoluted legacy of the city's #transit. Hopefully this overview of the Crosstown Expressway, Mid-City Transitway, and Circle Line helps shed some light on why Chicago's transit is the way it is today - and that you learnt a little bit more about what we have to do to build better transit. Huge thank you to Stormy Kara, Austin Busch, and Stephen E. Schlickman for helping out.
