For 8 years I’ve rode and loved that line. I get it times are hard; it’s hot, there was a fucking train derailment, bussing sucks… but my god does SSL’s leadership need to get it together.

The holiday schedule means the rush hour workers get crammed with the recreational Chicago visitors and consolidated between two trains. If you’re departing you need to depart on time. You can’t have 500+ people waiting in the heat switching between multiple trains. You can’t have just one engineer and one conductor responsible for all those people either.

When it comes to bussing there needs to be another crew and train ready to receive the passengers instead of having people waiting in this kind of heat until the engineer and conductor are finally bussed over.

Due to the lack of conductors people missed their stops due to doors not opening. People were overheated, late, tired, and now had no way home. Needless to say people were ready for violence.

SSLs management fucked the crew, fucked their passengers, and could’ve caused a serious incident.

Let’s all try to chill, have some solidarity and patience, and management… get your shit together.

My power is out on a relatively mild day and I’m venting.

Before I get too invested I’d like my kids and I get a feel for drones as a hobby. I’m thinking of build your own or autonomous flight as a focus, but anything in general to get a feel would be good.
