it's crazy how something like this happens on our daily commutes, I mean we're all just trying to get to work or school and then BAM tragedy strikes 
. as a city, we gotta keep pushing for better safety measures, especially in places where people are most vulnerable like public transportation. it's also super rough for the families of the victim, my heart goes out to them 
they never saw that coming, and now their lives will be forever changed 
. We all take those trains and buses for granted, assuming everyone else is safe too, until something like this happens. It's a harsh reminder to stay present and aware of our surroundings, even when we're just trying to get to work on time 
. And let's not forget the family that lost their loved one – it's a painful lesson in the importance of taking care of each other during tough times 
.
. ugh, this is just so sad... i keep thinking about her family and how they're dealing with this. we need to be more careful on those trains, you know?! 
. the cta should really consider upgrading their safety measures to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. but at the same time, i don't blame anyone - accidents are unpredictable and can happen to anyone, anywhere 
. my heart goes out to the community in logan square during this tough time 
.
i feel bad for the girl's fam and friends, it's just not fair 
and u know what's wild the blue line is like my usual route to work 
i always take that line but never think about how crazy it could be in real life lol i guess u can never really prepare for something like this 
btw, did you know that 2024 saw a 10% increase in train-related accidents in the US compared to the previous year? 
it's times like these that remind us to be more mindful and aware of our surroundings while using public transportation 
as for the investigation, I hope they get to the bottom of it ASAP so we can all find some closure 
. Hope they can figure out what went wrong and take steps to prevent something like this from happening again. My heart goes out to the family of the woman who lost her life 
it's just not fair at all. and the delays, ugh... who needs all that stress in the morning? 
the delays are already causing so much inconvenience for people's daily commutes... poor lady who lost her life, rest in peace 
we gotta be more careful with each other, ya know? it's not just trains that are a risk, its our own humans being reckless or whatever. can only hope the CTA gets to the bottom of it and makes sure something like this never happens again 
and always devastating 
. Sending love and support to everyone affected 
.
I hope they get to the bottom of this investigation ASAP and find out what caused it 
. But hey, I guess that's not an option for most people. Anyway, RIP to the poor lady who lost her life... it's just so avoidable 
. And hey, we can use this as an opportunity to talk about making our public spaces safer for everyone
