That’s what Rachel Yas, 24, related while riding the No. 66 bus to work. “The people-watching is the best thing about the Chicago Avenue bus,” Yas ex- plained. “I’ve met some really nice people here,” she said. “You sit down, and someone will start talking to you. Has it been the person? No. But there’s always tomorrow,” said Yas, who is single and moved to West Town recently. Kevin O’Neil, who writes the CTA tattler weblog, said there’s nothing unusual about love on the CTA. It’s bound to happen when every day, the same people meet at the same time and on the same bus or train. In fact, he adds, in the ear- ly 1990s a conductor used to call out his stops by playfully telling passengers, “You’re on the Love Train.
