Then again, back then I had a crappy Sony camera..

Do you work for CTA? You seem like a real L pusher. Or are you one of these public transportation-obsessed people?

Do you know what it is like to be colorblind? What if I were really blind? Or deaf? Would you be telling me that was a lame excuse?

You want people to think you’re all progressive because YOU TAKE THE L, but you poke fun of disabled people. You liberals are all the same. Peace and love as long as the other guy thinks like you do. Otherwise, F him. I’ve seen enough.

Mike, that’s a lousy excuse not to ride the L Trains. There are lots of cities that use a color code system, such as:
Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Portland OR, Sacramento, Washinton DC, and BART in the Bay Area. Not to mention that color coding lines is used around the world.
I know that it isn’t much help if you are color blind, but to say that you don’t ride the CTA trains because of it, is lame. The colors are almost always spelled out, and besides, if you rode it a few times, you would learn the system, and not need to be able to see color.

For colorblind people, red, green, brown, and orange are almost indistinguishable.

My colorblindness doesn’t play a role in any other city’s mass transit system.

I avoid the El like the plague.

Oh, and yes the red and blue tiles represent the connection between the Red and Blue Lines. When they first completed the renovation of the tunnel a few years ago, the lighting would take on a “reddish” or “bluish” cast of color depending on which direction you were walking.

Thanks!
