Monday, March 18, 2019 is Transit Employee Appreciation Day, and the Regional Transportation Authority is encouraging riders to say “thanks” to the various employees of the CTA, Metra and Pace Suburban Bus, who they see each day.

Bus drivers and train operators maneuver through treacherous weather in all seasons across the Chicago metro. They get riders where they need to be safely through rain, ice, wind and snow.

On this day, thank your bus driver!
