"On time." Looking at you, Brown Line

I've never had a problem with the brown line. Now the blue line that's another story

I swear the brown line always has a delay of some sort. I think the blue and red are more susceptible to the infamous sick passenger

I live up on Peterson and Kimball and catch the brown line up at the station at Lawrence at five in the morning so maybe that's why I don't have a problem with delays. Sometimes catching it back home there's a long wait

If you're catching it at Kimball that's probably why as it's the hub for the line

Yeah. I would catch the bus to the blue line but it was always late and one time someone jumped in front of it and after that I was like no more blue line for me

Yeah, stuff like that seems to be more common for the red and blue lines

I have a buddy and she told me that she was late for work like five times in a couple years cause people were killing themselves on the blue line. I wonder what it is about suicide and the blue line

Probably easier to commit as it (and the red line) goes underground whereas the other lines are all above ground and more difficult to gain access to

She said these people were jumping on the tracks around Pulaski and when my train got held up they jumped in front of it on Damen

Ah, okay. The Irving Park and Damen stops are both fairly large stops in general so it might just boil down to percentages being at play
