Desira Miller was riding home with her boyfriend Friday night around 11 p.m. at Belmont and Central when a CTA bus turning left ran into Desira breaking her leg, arm, rib, and fracturing her skull.

Is anyone interested in doing a short YouTube video on how to accurately make an identifiable notation of a CTA bus, run and driver? It seems purposely confusing to keep the driver anonymous and free from blame.

I routinely see CTA buses parked in the bike lane on the 10300 block of south Vincennes Avenue. I use the feedback form on the CTA's website to report this. Every time, day after day of commuting. My little peeve on my little ride.
Yet, I'd encourage everyone to use this so we can bury the CTA with observations of unsafe behavior; moving and stationary.
Come the day when a victim must sue the CTA, a FOIA query may reveal a plethora of complaints and hazards unmanaged.

The form is here: https://www.transitchicago.com/feedback/
