Man dies after falling off moving CTA train in Lake View

I think the whole thing is a total mess ... wait, no, I don't think that's it at all... actually, yeah, I do think the train should be safer , but what if that detour was just an accident waiting to happen? We can't blame one guy for trying something new on his lunch break. The CTA's been dodging questions about this and that's exactly why we need more transparency ... no way, I mean, who needs accountability when you've got lives at stake?! Anyway, should be a warning sign for everyone to stay alert, but also what if it's just user error?

Man, this is just heartbreaking . Losing a life is never easy and it's not like we can turn back the clock or anything. My thoughts go out to the young man's loved ones, they must be going through some crazy grief right now.

I've been riding those trains for years and I know how unpredictable they can be, but accidents shouldn't happen on purpose, you know? It's one thing to get lost or disoriented while waiting at a station, but intentionally taking a detour off a moving train is just plain reckless .

The lack of response from the CTA is pretty concerning too. I mean, safety should always be their top priority and they need to acknowledge that this is a bigger issue than just one person's mistake. We need more transparency and solutions to prevent these types of incidents in the future . It's time for them to step up and address our concerns about rider safety

OMG, this is so sad !! Like, I'm all for people trying new things and taking risks, but not when it's gonna lead to their own demise . You gotta be super careful when you're riding trains, especially if you get distracted or something. I mean, 2.40 pm is like, right in the middle of rush hour, so you'd think people would know better . And another thing, what's up with the lack of statements from the CTA? Like, shouldn't they be all over social media and stuff saying sorry and promising to do something about it ? It's like, their job is to keep us safe and make sure we get where we need to go, so yeah, I'm super disappointed that they're not doing more on this one . Anyway, RIP to the guy, he was young and had his whole life ahead of him .
