'Doomsday' Postponed

The Chicago Transit Authority has threatened 'Doomsday' several times in the little over two years I have depended on it for all my transportation needs. What exactly qualifies it as a 'doomsday?' Well first of all I would have to pay $9 more a month for my pass. Also there would be a few less express buses running. Oh, the horror! Sure, I don't think that it is fair to cut service and raise prices. But who would want to pay more for less? But fortunately I was recently informed that 'doomsday' was to be postponed temporary at least in an email that I received today. I learned "the temporary loan of $24 million provided by the State postpones these changes for less than two months.' I don't know exactly what the problem is but they must be having real problems if $24 million can only sustain you for 2 months, especially when they are undertaking a $530 million Brown Line expansion project. With that money they could hold off 'doomsday' for less than 22 months. I say just charge my the extra $9 a month and put an end to all the threats because frankly I'm tired of hearing about it.
