It could. Chicago really needs to increase both grade separated and dedicated ROW transit options before charging more for expressways so that those who are able can move to transit to save time as auto transit either costs more in money or time.
Dedicated lanes on LSD, longer trains on the Red and Blue Lines, even new lines in and nearby the Central Area, possibly additional express service on the Purple Line and new express service on the Forest Park branch of the Blue Line, Cicero Ave rail service, link Brown and Blue, Lower Michigan - we're talking perhaps $15-20 billion dollars in transit infrastructure expansion built out over 15-25 years, which is a lot on top of everything else, but would do a lot to enable transit competitiveness.
