CTA Brown Line trains delayed due to temporary staff shortage

CHICAGO - Chicago Transit Authority Brown Line trains are experiencing delays due to a staff shortage.

The delays were announced around 5:30 p.m. Saturday, and it is unknown how long they will last, according to the CTA.

"At this time, our operations staff are working to run as much service as frequently and manage service to be spaced as evenly as possible," the CTA said in a statement.

Travelers are urged to consider alternative options, such as nearby bus routes or other rail lines.

Those who still plan to ride the Brown Line should anticipate extra travel time, the CTA advised.
