CHICAGO - On Sunday night, the CTA announced that all train and bus service would be suspended until Monday morning. Metra announced late Sunday that Monday's train service was completely canceled.
Pace said on Sunday night that the I-55 Bus on Shoulder Express Services will not operate Monday. Updates about all other Pace services will be announced before 5:00 a.m. Monday.
The cancellations and changes come after looting following protests over the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police.
Chicago is under a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew. Several suburbs including Aurora, Tinley Park, Oak Lawn, Orland Park and Chicago Ridge are also under curfews.
The National Guard is in Chicago to support the police department and to protect citizens and their First Amendment rights, the leader of the Illinois Guard said Sunday, in the wake of protests over the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd.
"I want to clear and emphasize that the Guard is here to support our police department. They are here as needed support," Mayor Lori Lightfoot said on Sunday afternoon.
