CTA ...still there

Hey, it's actually been a while since I have talked about the CTA. The other day I finally checked out a site that I had seen referenced in various places. The CTA Tattler(http://www.ctatattler.com/). As the name implies the main purpose of this site is to talk about experiences in the CTA, though not necessarily bad ones. The webmaster also has had the opportunity (along with others) to have a casual discussion over coffee with CTA president Ron Huberman, which is an opportunity I certainly would not pass up.
Here are my recent thoughts on this behemoth:
Abandoned stations in the Eisenhower median and along the Englewood Green Line Branch - this past weekend I drove past both of these and wondered to myself why these structures are allowed to sit there, decaying, rusting and becoming an eyesore. Maybe the CTA plans on rehabbing the stations should demand ever warrant it. By then I will probably be in my 50s and the cost of rehabbing the stations (which will by then probably seem quaint, although I fail to see how) will be far greater than constructing a new one.
Bus bunching - the CTA has launched an expanded Bus Tracker service that provides riders with detailed information on when the next bus should arrive to their stop in 20 different routes. Supposedly, this would have the effect of reducing bus bunching yet there it was, on a route with bus tracker fully implemented. Friday morning I missed an 49 Western bus that had an X49 bus right behind it (which I could not board as I was not on an express stop) and, less than a minute later, came another 49 bus. After boarding the 49 bus I realized that there was another bus in front of the bus I had originally missed...probably another express bus. 4 buses operating never farther than a block from one another. I am sure that this caused some disruption to someone, somewhere.
