In Defense of the Glutes

I have just one question. Who ON EARTH thought it was a good idea to put METAL benches on the El platform? Hello? This is CHICAGO. There are serious liability issues at stake here. Imagine sitting down in the middle of January on a metal bench while waiting for your train to come and having your butt freeze to the seat. Can Chicago really afford the medical and legal bills that would ensue? Considering their ferocity for handing out parking tickets to earn a little extra cash (I would know, I've gotten 4 in 3 years), I'm going to wager, no.

If we want to be serious contenders for the 2016 Olympics, we have GOT to get smarter folks on the Chicago Transit decor committee. Metal benches have to go.
