Server down @Metra @metraUPN ? Let’s do absolutely nothing. The fact you did seriously nothing to alleviate the issue is absurd

Ventra is experiencing a system outage impacting fare payment. Impacted customers will be able to ride free on CTA, Metra and Pace during this time. Ventra is working diligently to resolve the issue; we apologize for the inconvenience.

Why isn't @WBBMNewsradio and @WBBM1059Traffic reporting on @Metra and @metraMED HOUR long delay that @rtachicago isn't alerting about? Is it because they are sponsoring @Audacy and @WBBMNewsradio ? It's not "construction"! A wire is down! @USDOT

First time using the ME line on Metra, so of course all service to University Park is suspended because of a power outage 😂😂

Metra Electric inbound trains movement has been resumed with extensive delays. outbound trains remained stopped at Millennium Station due to Electrical outage. Metra will provide updates as information becomes available.
