Vintage Chicago El Train Poster

Avoid Street Congestion!

Fast and Reliable is how we Chicagoans want our public transportation, and this vintage Chicago poster shows the Chicago Transit Authority's early attempts at encouraging the use of mass transit.  This design features Chicago's famous "El" train on the elevated track circling the Loop area of downtown. The poster's claims are true today too - public transportation, especially the El trains, are the easiest way to get to downtown Chicago.
