I think the appropriate Galaxy Quest tagline is "Never give up, never surrender!"

Look, I don't know what to tell you, all of my group chats eventually became at least part train group chats.

Maybe you'll get to put in some public comments when they rename the Metra lines and have to re-engineer the app to match.

OTOH, pick your line/stations and then here's your zone is more likely the most accessible order for most casual train riders. "What zone are you riding to" is completely opaque.

(Full disclosure, James and I are IRL friends and law school classmates, he teaches about securities law.)

I think that's James's point; when I look at my pass in the Ventra app it does say BNSF in my active ticket list. When you click through to the ticket screen itself it doesn't, but that's why I asked to make sure it was good on UP-W as well.

I just had a zone 4 monthly pass and asked the conductor ahead of time.

Yeah, I think @jennbudd.bsky.social has written extensively about how this attitude has been prevalent in those agencies for a long time now, and just like large city police departments they're good at driving out the idealists, whistleblowers, et al.

Or the ones who saw the light after the war like Longstreet and participated in Reconstruction. Somehow they never want to build statues of those guys.

Have we considered if this was an intentional omission because they don't actually have any supporting authority, though?

I confess this morning as I was waiting for my commuter train, there was an outbound UP train that was made up of about 100 empty flatbed cars and it made me think of this.
