Oh, wow. The para-transit I was talking about is either the same price as a regular bus ride, or free when it's a situation of a temporary problem (like the lift being repaired, or something).
Learning things like this reminds me to be grateful for what we've got here. The system isn't perfect at all, and it's hard as hell to get any kind of support (and when you do get it, it's on the basis of making you totally dependent instead of maintaining independence) - but there are a few things that are well-handled here. Chicago is one of the most accessible cities in the U.S....but you've been here, so as you can imagine there are still problems.
