It was a fun cheap Holiday activity.
A thought: If the CTA needs extra money, it might be smart to have a company sponsor the train next year. There are ways the company can sponsor it without it becoming too commercial. For example, the CTA has put up fake ads, such as for Northstar Buck's coffee... Part of the deal could be that the sponsoring company creates fake websites that could re-direct to their real ones (to cut down on the obvious commercialism).
Important tips for next year:
- Go to the beginning of the trip (whether it's Howard or 95th). Even just stops in, at 79th, the train was quite crowded.
- Plan to be there at least 15 minutes ahead of schedule. It will be a lot less stressful.
- There is a time to get a photo taken next to Santa & in front of the trains. This ride, it was at Belmont. But note-- it's only about 4 minutes to do so. So take your photos & hop back on! (we wound up missing it after the photos)
