After putting up with years of ongoing abuse from the city, Chicago's transit riders finally revolted against Mayor Daley and his decayed subway system. Packed trains were stranded under Chicago's Loop during rush hour for more than an hour on Tuesday. People were getting sick and throwing up from the lack of circulating fresh air. Finally, riders revolted en mass, ignoring transit workers' confused directions and pleas, abandoning the stalled trains and making a long and dangerous trudge through dark and dirty underground tunnels to the light of freedom. Some of them still remain hospitalized.
