We wondered about this a few months ago. According to a Sun-Times report today, it looks like the CTA is getting positive feedback from moms and other riders who appreciate the extra room on the new seatless cars.
The CTA began testing the train cars Sept. 12 on Brown Line trains during rush hour. 12 to 14 seats were removed from the cars to accommodate an extra 20 standing riders during rush hour.
The report suggests the transit agency may add more seatless cars to the Blue Line and Orange Line to assist passengers who are traveling with luggage to and from O'Hare and Midway airports.

seatless cars on trains, how terriffic.has daley taken into consideration the needs of All the people of Chicago. What about people with diabilities. some of us cannot stand for 30 or 40 minutes to get to where we have to go? has anyone taken that into consideration? when was the last time you saw someone sitting in the designated disbled seats actually give up their seat? the only thing that king Richard is concerned about is how much more money he can put into his pocket.
