Ask CTA - “How frequently do you clean buses?”

Buses leave their garages every day cleaned and ready for service-but often they’re not coming back that way. So what happens and what does CTA do about it? This week’s “Ask CTA” gives a behind-the-garage-doors look at how we get our entire fleet of buses ready for service.

The reason that busses get messy is because people are messing them up. Every spilled coffee. Every candy wrapper. Every chip. Every pile of sunflower seed shells. Every cigarette butt and piece of tobacco. Every beer or wine bottle. Every pee and poo stain. Every diaper... Passengers leave behind. CTA cleans it up. If passengers didn't create the mess, busses would be cleaner. End of story. 😂 Thanks to each and every one of y'all that bust your butts to make this all happen!🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

#chicagotransitauthority ❤❤Thanks for such hard work, I use'm early morning and yes, those seats are frequently cleaned. It takes my attention that issues such as eating, drinking, listening to loud music, talking loudly at the cellphones, not packages, or other items on the seats are enforced, by the evening is really awful to use the cta service and see all of these.😢😢😢😢

I commend CTA. Wish it was made MANDATORY for ALL Transit Authorities. Here at KCTA they never care. They would be ashamed if they did a video of how it’s done here. New management comes in and it’s a topic for a season but it always goes back to the norm. FILTHY.
