I think that more then 80% of the delays are said to be caused by signal problems. At least that is what the PA system on the train always tells us. That's just amazing to me that in 2009 Metra can't figure out a way with all the electronic advancements, they can't find some way to run their signals with next to no problems. Hey maybe get a airline traffic controller to take over. Airplanes can fly anywhere and almost never hit each other. Trains run on a permanent placed track, that only cross each other now and then. Heck, airline traffic controllers would probably find train traffic a walk in the park, meaning easy.
Oh wait Metra doesn't need to improve anything because they are a monopoly.
