News item: CTA vows 'breakout year' for service fixes

(Crain’s) — The Chicago Transit Authority’s new boss Tuesday promised riders a specific set of service improvements — including a near-end to bus bunching and slow zones on el trains — that they will be able to count on seeing no more than 18 months from now.

Damn, that's a long year...

Also: do numbers go that high?

In another change, electronic schedule boards telling riders how long it will be until their train arrives should be installed in every el station within 18 months, Mr. Huberman said.

"Your train will arrive in... 18 months..."
