chicagotribune.com: Anyone who regularly rides public transit has their stories. Buses and train cars are delicate ecosystems. Smashed up against your fellow Chicagoans and learning far more about these complete strangers than you ever wanted, the ride home from work can turn into short-attention-span theater faster than you can say "Doors are closing."

There you are, waiting on a frigid platform, when suddenly this thing festooned in lights and tinsel comes barreling into the station, replete with a waving Santa. "It's strange. It's surreal. It's overdone," as a CTA riders notes in Thomas Murray's latest "L" train-themed show.
