Gettin all WTF wit it...

I catch the CTA just about everyday going back and forth to work so its no surprise when I come across a little trash or graffiti. I see Graffiti in the form of people loving their school, local gangs and just random representations of streets. I would like the buses and elevated trains, L for us Chicago natives and residents, to be a little cleaner but that’s an issue I don’t care to deal with right now.
The bus I catch serves as a connection between the south and north sides and there is usually a high volume of minority customers so this particular piece of graffiti caught me off guard. Located in the back of the bus on the left hand side, on a seat panel was a giant Swastika made in what I believe to be black permanent marker. There were even words written around it in, again just a hunch, German.
Now I know regardless of what the CTA says those buses are not inspected at the end or beginning of every route but I would hope they would be inspected often enough so that I as a CTA customer wouldn’t have to see that.
Honestly I wish I would have gotten more proactive about the situation by taking more pictures of the bus number and the driver and taking down the time but the main thing on my mine when I’m on the bus that early in the morning is getting to work on time.
You know, I’m not even sure How to end this because honestly I’m not this big activist or anything but...
