   Hunh. The last time I was in Chicago (2018), they said I could use my    
   Visa tap-card to get on the "L." It worked, and it even knew I had a transfer    
   when I changed to a bus downtown. (But I'm not registered as a Senior   
   on the CTA/RTA.)    
      
   Does "OM" stand for anything -- it doesn't say on its web page -- or is it    
   just a play on the word omni?
