The violence prevention group, Violence Interrupters, said they plan to ride the trains overnight. The group just hopped on the cta and will ride in the overnight hours in an effort to combat and deter crime. They insist it makes a difference.
Although they're aiming to help prevent the issue plaguing the rail service, one North Side alderman is calling for people not use public transit at night until CTA can prove it's safe.
