I was living near Chicago when the Green line was shut down as it wasn't as bad to get into Oak Park for what I needed to as Metra was a great option as well when I needed it
@@blue9multimediagroup He did, but over the years they’ve changed, added stations, transfer points etc, all that have necessitated new or changed recordings
Oh awesome! I’m glad the video has comments… I’m glad to know I’m not the only one that thinks listening to various transit Authority announcements it’s not only interesting but somehow relaxing as well I just have one question for the Chicago transit authority… Why do we need an announcement to tell us that if we are standing, we should not lean on the doors of the train? You know the doors that open and close so people can get off and get back on? What kind of idiot would sit there and lean on a flimsy door of a train while it’s hurtling down the track at a high rate of speed? That could only end in disaster… You would think it is obvious but I guess it’s not for some people LOL
Wish this had the doors closing sound too

Omg this is giving me so much nostalgia
For the last 6 years this is the sound I would hear that why I love chicago
This is so satisfying to watch...
I saw this on the Chicago l page on fb and you should do more announcement videos of other lines cause this ones great👍

Really wish more conductors would make these personal announcement
This was back in the day when they had conductors.
@@fnihp30 and they still have conductors it’s not like it’s automatic trains
@@fnihp30 this was recorded less than 5 years ago. they had drivers then and they do now
@@phoungdang4473 I said when they had “conductors”, not “train operators”, “motormen” or “drivers”.
I also wish they still had walk through conductors. Maybe people wouldn't act so idiotic
Great video! Love the pre-recorded messages.
It took me back to 1999. DePaul university days. Granville to Jackson.
I like how you slipped Washington/State in at 09:02.
Same
I think it was in the 2000s when that happened because it was before block 37

You can hear the change in his voice as Lee Crooks has aged, he still sounds great though!
Thought he recorded them all at one time....

Library and Washington/Wabash both have noticeably newer announcements than the other Loop stations. Others have also been re-recorded over the years.
Nice video you did a very nice job
Cool I never thought of the announcements
Can you make a video about the announcement for the blue line
Can u do all the lines?
Yeah
Okay, we haven't to remember our stop. We will called by name, as the patients in doctor's waiting room.
True that would be, Friedrich, Robert?
That spoof evacuation board is hilarious.
ikr

I like this announcement for some reason
Commenting in mid-late 2024: Red line is having another reconstruction from 95th to 130th st.
I thought they were talking about this in like 2012
@@chelseadaniels4327 yep and they should construct from 2025 to 2030s.
16:40 63rd and Ashland is next
You should do the CTA bus announcements
That train to McCormick, the Operator sounded like Denzel. Hilarious but very informative.
Ahhh! My ears! 5:21
CTA needs to bring this back.
I really want to know who the conductor is 😂😂😂 I love him.
They had rush hour only service from 2017-2018/19 cause of the Dan Ryan Ⓜ️ renovation
Only the green line goes to alshland/63rd
How the fuck does anyone gamble on a train? Like “I bet that guy is going out of the train next station”
You'd be surprised by what happens on the Red Line lol
@@ChicagolandTransit I'm from New York and I've never seen gambling on the subway. Is that a thing in Chicago?
I think they still run the shell game on the orange, getting the tourists
Typical red line 😂
@@jsn683idk
ASHLAND/63RD
Are Red Line trains still going to Ashland/63 as of 2024?
no
No just 95 only as of 2024-2030
The redline under construction went to 63rd/Ashland
Hmmm niceee
The nostalgia
6:42 Top Kek
They should remove the Green Line transfer @ 35th-Bronzeville IIT

There's a video somewhere showing why...a guy leaning on the door falls asleep and when the doors open, he falls flat on his back on the platform.
Y’all go to 6:44 cuz I’m like what the fuck
Action Jackson at the beginning!!
Where’s the doors closing and the ding dong?
