BROWN LINE

For more than 100 years, the CTA's Brown Line has provided service between downtown and Chicago's Northwest Side, offering convenient transportation to downtown businesses and local retail stores. The Brown Line is an integral part of the fabric of the city and needs to be renovated... For more than a century, the Brown Line has served as a vital artery to the neighborhoods and businesses of Chicago's Northwest Side... Since the mid-1990s, CTA has made operational changes to accommodate demand on the Brown Line, including having Purple Line trains stop at Brown Line stations from Belmont to downtown Chicago, extending service hours, adding additional trips during afternoon rush hours, reducing headways and restoring service on Sundays. Despite these service adjustments, persistent crowding on Brown Line station platforms continued to impact customers.
