I had hopes that this would go away, but the the dogooders sniffing "think of the poor seniors on fixed incomes" got their way and the exemption continues. How about "think of all the poor people who are actually working and depend on the CTA to get back and forth to work every day...." for a change. The system is underutilized during most of the day, how about a plan where seniors ride free except during rush hour!
