Holiday travel chaos hits Metra BNSF riders

Holiday plans for many in the Chicago area took a hit when Metra canceled six BNSF line trains on Christmas Eve, all because of a last-minute staff shortage. With so many folks trying to get home for the holidays, the remaining trains were packed, leaving some commuters stranded or scrambling for alternatives. It’s a tough reminder of how much we rely on public transit, especially during big moments like this. Anyone else get caught up in the mess? How did you manage your trip—or did you have to change your plans? #Transportation #Metra #Chicago
