Cameras on Buses
From WBBM 780:
The CTA will test a system that allows nearby police cars to see what’s happening aboard some of its buses. WBBM’s Bob Roberts reports the six-month test will be conducted on the 56/Milwaukee and 62/Archer bus routes.
Cameras board 50 buses will be equipped with wireless transmitting equipment that will allow personnel at several “L” stations, in 16 police squad cars and in four CTA first- responder vehicles to see what’s happening.
The images also will be transmitted from the “L” stations over the CTA’s fiber-optic network to its Control Center. . . . All CTA buses have been equipped with security cameras and recorders since 2003. Already, CTA has 362 security cameras at 26 stations, and expansions of the wired network are planned.
