Chicago Weather Alert: Delays Reported On CTA Trains, Buses Amid Winter Storm
CHICAGO (CBS)-- CTA trains and buses are running, but some routes may be delayed as a winter storm moves through Chicago.
Wednesday morning commuters may face delays and should allow for extra time. Stairs and train platforms may be slick.
CTA officials responded to CBS 2 reports of slick conditions on stairs and train platforms.
"Crews are out clearing platforms as quickly as possible (and will continue to do so, revisiting stations as snow is still falling or where more snow has accumulated from blowing or drifting)," CTA said in a tweet.
Hi, Tiffani! Thanks for reporting, we'll pass this on. Crews are out clearing platforms as quickly as possible (and will continue to do so, revisiting stations as snow is still falling or where more snow has accumulated from blowing or drifting).
