Here is the bad information in question (a previous paragraph identified this student's CTA station as 63rd St):
“I’m not going to be able to take the bus. The bus doesn’t go my way,” said Walker, 16, who lives on the Southeast Side. “I take the Red Line to 79th, then take the bus to Jeffery. . . . I’m not walking a couple of blocks to take a bus. I’m just going to have someone pick me up.”
This student can still walk to his CTA station (63rd St) and take a shuttle that goes his way to 79th St (it is a lie that the bus doesn't go his way). And then he can take his normal bus from 79th to Jeffery. No change except he will be on an express bus from 63rd to 79th instead of a train.
If the story focused on the three stations NOT getting a replacement shuttle (35th, 47th and 55th) perhaps the Sun Times could raise an issue. But their examples are poor (and the example of a student who will cope with not having the 55th St stop was reflected as positive ... no big deal ... as compared to those who have replacement service and are whining).
The next story will be about some passenger wanting to take the Green Line to Ashland/63rd being forced to change to a Red Line train.
