I agree. Also there is an amount of walking to get to the C or D lines. You could get into the zone somewhere and tranfer to the Micro to get home? I think my wife and I have a half mile walk to our C Line Station. We came back from the airport one night and I ran home to get the car and pick my wife and kid up and left them at the Station where it was safer. With the Micro could get off the LRT and and then get into the zone and get a ride home. The zone will include I think two of the Green Line Ext stations. Also I am going to tell my wife about this and to use it if our car breaks down or to take if home from work if we have a major snowstorm or etc.I think it's great for people to get to Aldi and Cub where it's very time consuming to transfer to make a trip that's only a mile or two. Helpful for those who are older or limited mobility to get from their door to the bus stop as well. With the C Line, D Line, and Blue Line as well as the stop cuts on the 22, the Near North Side has lost/will lose a lot of service at the local stops.
Bottom Line, this is a safe way for people to get around. I think folks might also take it who don't feel safe on the other transit options. I hope it's promoted among Seniors and families by folks like Northpoint Health
