Do you use (often unreliable) Transit Trackers and apps to get predictions of when buses, trains will arrive and plan your trip accordingly, or do you just show up?

The Divvy system recently debuted charging stations for electric Divvys. Read more to find out where the first charging stations are located.

The city is billing the plan as a "community-informed plan to mitigate climate-change impacts and position Chicago as a job-creator and economic leader in new economy."

The new information about the pricing structure and corrals offers reassurance that the Divvy system will continue to generally be affordable and fair.

Charging per-minute fees and out-of-station parking surcharges all over the city may make the system inaccessible to lower-income residents on the South and West sides.

"Overall I'm impressed with the new Divvy bikes and look forward to snagging one whenever I’m away from my own bike."

Will the scooters be an asset to Chicago's sustainable transportation network, or will they introduce a new set of dangers and annoyances to urban life? Only time will tell.

Lime hopes that politicians who are friendly to dockless bike and scooter technology will help them to deploy a large number fo their devices citywide.

Chicago Department of Transportation commissioner Rebekah Scheinfeld has overseen the completion of several good projects during her four years on the job, including the Loop Link bus rapid transit corridor, the Bloomingdale Trail, the Chicago Riverwalk, and 100 miles of new and upgraded bike lanes. (However, it’s worth noting all of these initiatives were launched by her higher-profile predecessor, Gabe Klein.)
