Mr. Bachrach, you just acknowledged that the CTA has the authority to impose a fine of up to $25,000 per passenger. The CTA has that authority. Please forgive me for avoiding looking like I am interfering in the independence of the CTA. My expectation is that the rules will be enforced and that passengers' rights will be upheld. I know that the CTA is coming here, so that would be an interesting question for the CTA.
