CTA Tattler: Raise fares to fund rail expansion, major rehab

CTA Red Line extension
This was posted to CTA Tattler on Tuesday. Kevin O'Neill is calling on a 25 cent increase to CTA fares to fund future capital improvements to the CTA system. Especially mentioned was the CTA Red Line extension which he was unable to find any estimated funding but he says it could certainly exceed $1 billion (according to this ABC 7 article the estimated cost is $2.3 billion).

Would you be on board with a fare increase if it means the Red Line extension and other capital improvements are made to CTA?
