Metra adding more BNSF trains Monday as more commuters return to Chicago's downtown offices
CHICAGO (CBS) -- In Chicago more people are heading back to the office and Metra is adding more trips to the BNSF line on Monday.
Metra has reported an increase in commuters, the highest since the pandemic.
With the extra passengers, Metra is adding seven more trips to the BNSF line and eliminating two late morning rush hour rides. The increase is fueled in part by high gas prices.
