In our continued efforts to proselytize the good news of regional rail to the masses, we’ve created a new gateway website to CrossTowners as an introduction to #2034sight and the #CRCLPlan. Check it out, spread the word, and let’s #BuildTheTunnel.

CrossTowners, or “regional rail”, are a vision to unlock Chicagoland by using our existing passenger rail infrastructure more efficiently for all-day service.

A perhaps substantial (30%+) fare hike is entirely possible and perhaps inevitable.
But we can pair it with common sense reforms, like fare capping to provide discounts to frequent riders, universal fares good for all 3 agencies, and expanded assistance programs for riders with financial hardships.
