This project focuses on improving the CTA bus system by reducing bus stops, increasing the number of available buses, and introducing express routes. The aim is to provide a more efficient and convenient transportation experience for passengers. The project was led by Dr. Carmen Sanchez and completed by 7th-grade students from Kelly Novelo's reading class. Winners were selected based on the quality of their presentations. The project was sponsored by Navigation Technologies, Chicago Public Schools, and DePaul Center for Urban Education.
