Ranking CTA Green Line Stations

[@lennoxtvthingy7408]

The CTA will open a new station on the green line at Damen. It has a modern glass roof, a tower, an overpass and tells you on the sign where the two exits lead. Thoughts?

[@davidburrow5895]

Interesting take. The only one I would strongly disagree with is Clark/Lake, which I'd rank quite a bit higher than you did. While I've seen a few homeless people on the landings there, I've never seen any actual crime. I've seen far more sketchy things in the Adams/Wabash area.

“King Drive is right next to O’Block”😂😂

[@ianrotheroe2540]

The streets will remember this

[@dangelohartley5977]

That honestly caught me guard

[@nobiz]

Everything is sketchy when you’re white dude on the green line lol

[@garyyang4961]

I think you are going off of perception rather than reality if you think 43rd & 51st are the same in terms of crime rates and livability. The 43rd area in Bronzeville is significantly safer and experiencing a lot of redevelopment / gentrification with upper middle class black residents moving in. The story might’ve been different when the State Street Projects were around but Bronzeville today is on the up and up. IMO you overuse “sketchy” as a descriptor and it’s not one I would weight that heavily given how subjective it is (Clark/Lake for example - sure there’s some interesting characters but it’s also one of the busiest spots in the system so I’d be more comfortable there than a completely empty platform). I do think you have good commentary on the station infrastructure and usability though.

there is a transfer up top at pulaski but it’s at the front of the platform when u first enter but people rarely use the crossover i’ve barely seen anyone up there the last few times i was there

Me at 2:28- “Did they just”… rewinds… “Yes, yes they did.”

[@QuarioQuario54321]

Where would Damen go?

[@Jayknowsthewaze]

What is your definition of sketchy? With the amount times you’ve used it in this video, everything must be sketchy or something

[@cheeseebun]

the green line goes through some rough neighborhoods he isnt exaggerating

[@Minelaughter]

0:23 “The 63rd bound elevator at Pulaski is temporarily out of service” is an alert I get almost every single day it’s annoying but also concerning

[@WranghisKhan]

I’ve always wondered if a Green Line extension from Garfield to the East Side of the City would benefit them over there. I understand they have Metra but I think there’s a lot of people that just actively choose not to use it. I could be wrong through EDIT: GARFIELD IN TOP 3 LET’S GOOOOO 🗿

[@joshuafajardo5697]

My Ranking from Worst To Best That I Embarked/Disembarked: Cottage Grove, Ashland/63, Ashland, Garfield, Conservatory-Central Park Drive, 35th-Bronzeville-IIT, Harlem/Lake, Clinton, Adams/Wabash, Morgan, Clark/Lake, Cermak-McCormick Place, Roosevelt, Washington/Wabash, & Damen

[@cowzrule1988]

You forgot Morgan, du

[@joshuafajardo5697]

@ Morgan is in between Adams/Wabash & Clark/Lake

[@StevenWWade]

Your opinions are well informed and I applaud you on your sense of street smarts and trivia making this video. Might have to do a revision fo the upcoming Damen startion.

[@mbroadnax1]

I would like your take on the Brown Line. I have ridden most of the rail lines. The twists and turns, along with the views are, in my opinion pretty cool. So after you do Pink or Blue, consider Brown!!!

[@garyyang4961]

Yes!! But if Quincy isn’t first I riot

[@xoul-chi]

Please do orange line

[@joshuafajardo5697]

They should re-extend the ➡️ 63rd Branch 🔙 to Jackson Park for the Obama 📚

[@joshuafajardo5697]

U gotta update this with Damen

[@Nvideofilmsproductions]

The synonym sketchy is tight or comes off

[@ChicagoMike97]

Oh yeah it is shady underneath the King Drive station. Tons of drug activity. That particular intersection is always hoppin.’

[@vicsanimations7736]

Now Cermak's throne has been dethroned on my list. (Damen💚)

[@joshuafajardo5697]

They need to re-extend the ➡️ 63rd Branch all the way 🔙 to Jackson Park especially for the Obama Presidential 📚 & they need to resurrect to all of the lost Ⓜ️ on the line & the whole system

[@stansmith9971]

The Jackson tunnel connecting blue and red lines is a nightmare.

[@adrianvarela2216]

Pink line next?

[@BurjTransit]

Maybe. Either that or the Blue line

[@animal5085]

@@BurjTransit I think blue line would be best (given the red, green, and blue are the three largest lines)

[@a81517]

All the congress stations are getting d tier.

[@pantherbulb8]

You should do the Blue Line next 😝😝😝

epic video

[@cheeseebun]

some might get angry but you are not wrong, it goes through some rough neighborhoods. thats why i always say, if you have to take the green line to get there, why? do you actually have to be there?

[@nose10620]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@a81517]

Adams and wabash is disgusting though, so much bird poop and rusty paint.

[@QuantemTekGamingtv]

You sou d like the type of guy who shouldnt take public transit. Pace has short buses for guys like you

[@kirillboyko9208]

It must be tough coming up with these ratings given a high crime rate in Chicago. “This station is terrible because of the sketchy neighborhood and criminal activity”. That is probably the work-in-progress description for 50% of the stations

[@cheeseebun]

the green line is the only line i wouldn't take because of the neighborhoods it goes through. the rest of the city is relatively fine.

[@garrettjohnson3436]

you use the word sketchy a lot. wanna explore what you mean by that?

[@lennoxtvthingy7408]

I think his use of sketchy means “suspicious” or “risky”

[@joshuafajardo5697]

Clinton is a 👍 view of the 🛤️ @ OTC
