It\u2019s understandable why people had reservations about transit: an enclosed space, full of strangers, with unclear cleaning protocols. But across the world, public transportation has played no significant part in the spread of COVID-19, and Chicago Loop Alliance\u2019s CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/es\/join\/about-us\/people\/\">Michael Edwards<\/a> decided it was time to get back on the train.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">We sat down with Michael to offer some firsthand insight into what it\u2019s like to ride an L train in these times, why he chose to get back into commuting on transit, and what he had missed most about his time away from the CTA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Give us an overview of your commuting habits both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">I typically commute by public transportation in the winter months, so leading up to the pandemic last January, February, and part of March, I mostly took public transit. And then the pandemic hit and I stopped doing that. I got a new bike and, beginning in April, I started riding my bike every day to the office. I was as concerned as other people about taking public transit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What got you back on the train? How were you feeling about using the CTA again?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">With the changing of the weather, I found a need to be on public transit. I was apprehensive at first but am pleasantly surprised. Initially, I was nervous because it just seemed like a confined space, and given what we knew at the time in terms of how COVID was transmitted, it seemed like not the right place to be. But I feel pretty comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large loop-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/EN-photo-Adam-Alexander.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Describe what commuting on the CTA looks like now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">I take the Brown Line from Addison, and occasionally the Red Line. Currently, I\u2019m going five days a week from 8:30-5 or so. So I\u2019m taking the train at what used to be rush hour. A train car holds 40 people, but I get on at Addison, and there are maybe seven people in the train car. By the time I get downtown, where people are starting to get off, there are maybe 12 people. Everyone is spaced out, and it\u2019s very comfortable. I\u2019m impressed with the CTA. The social distancing is well marked, the masks seem enforced. Everyone is sort of in self-preservation mode. You don\u2019t want to get sick, and you don\u2019t want to get anyone else sick. People don\u2019t talk to each other, like they wouldn\u2019t before, but people seem to be very aware that they need space and others need space, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large loop-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/430-pm-Monday-Brown-Line-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What do you do if you notice someone not wearing a mask or social distancing?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">Frankly, I haven\u2019t seen people without masks. But I have seen people get up and move to other seats if they feel people are sitting too close. I\u2019ve done that. And you always have the option of changing train cars or just walking off the train altogether and finishing your commute another way, but I haven\u2019t been in a situation that makes me feel the need to do that. After you\u2019re in the CTA system, you are required to wear a mask. And I mean, literally, no one has sat right next to me any time I\u2019ve been on the train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large loop-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/07.15.20-Clean-Team-02-credit-Organic-Headshots-copy-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A lot of Chicagoans have expressed that they miss their commute on the CTA. What do you enjoy about your commute?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a good time to take a break from all the noise that has been going on in life. I try not to look at my phone and just kind of look out the window. It\u2019s just nice to be out. And I really enjoy riding my bicycle, but you can only go so far, and you\u2019re always thinking. On a train you can just sort of forget about things for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large loop-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/loopchicago.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/D90A5733.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What advice do you have for those who are thinking about riding the CTA but are apprehensive?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lc-post-paragraph wp-block-paragraph\">I say don\u2019t come to your office or leave your office at a typical rush hour. While it feels safe to me, it would probably be better to try it during off hours: work 10-2 or 2-6 or something like that when there are likely to be fewer people. And then once you get comfortable you can start using the train or bus to meet your own needs. I would also say that I\u2019ve started to wear two masks to better protect myself and others, and that\u2019s one simple thing we can all do to further mitigate risk.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 MIN READ \u2013 At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, public transportation ridership across the nation plummeted as commuters questioned whether buses and trains were safe.
