Have you checked out the CTA budget proposal for 2010? http://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/finance_budget/2010budgetbook.pdf Although increasing revenue through secondary income strategies is great, the CTA will benefit best by slashing their labor costs, which currently make up some $870 billion of the $1,272 billion CTA budget (or about $1.54 out of every $2.25 ride).
