The CTA should start paying me

I say this not only because I think everyone should pay me, but because they clearly don't think staffing is that important. I know they always do construction during non peak hours, which is normally just a little inconvenient, but essentially you can get where your going with just a little thought. This past weekend the CTA went a little crazy and decided to close just about every train going to the downtown area. Both the red and blue lines where closed under ground. And everything else was only running on the outside of the loop. Then the lines switched colors in the middle of the loop, and people where all confused. For the past three days I feel like I've helped more lost people find their way then I have in my whole life. No one really made it to work on time. The best part of the whole thing was the bitchy people who didn't want to walk to the other side of the loop. For those of you who don't get this the train that runs in the loop has stops like every freaking block. The distance between the inside and the outside of the loop is like five freaking blocks. And if that doesn't work there are like a million and a half buses to take. I admit the CTA could have and should have done a much better job informing customers, but customers could also be a little less stupid. Thats all I'm saying
