Purgatory With Pantagraphs

From the depths of commuter hell, comes Purgatory with Pentagraphs. These are the continuing stories of the brave souls who commute daily to Chicago on the South Shore electric train, and the muggles who are unfortunate enough to meet them.

Our Favorite Conductor... demoted?

So it turns out that last week Purgatory's arch nemesis John Parsons was on the South Shore train, standing literally right in front of us near the center doors, along with the commissioner of NICTD... and no one told us. Even the man dubbed "Our Favorite Conductor" let us down, and was afraid to tell us the anti-Christ of public transit was cowering in our midst. We had a wonderful opportunity to grill the one person who is literally responsible for the mess that is our commutes... and even as a captive audience (where was he going to go? Hell I am sure the train was late anyway!), but the one South Shore employee who could have given us the chance of a lifetime, chose to protect himself instead. How sad.
