You know it's bad when:
- You have been waiting for 25 minutes before a bus materializes. During rush hour.
- There are enough people at a single stop to fill up half the bus.
- When said bus finally does materialize, it is already full, only a few stops into the route.
- Subsequently, the bus cannot take any more passengers, thus making those who have already waited 25+ minutes even more aggravated.
Generally, the upside to a super-crowded, late bus is that when it is completely full it runs express. Or at least only stops when requested from the inside. Thus you cut at least a little of your late losses.
Unfortunately, the driver did not figure out this convenient detail. Which just wasted everyone's time. The people on the inside who were already late, as well as the people who couldn't fit on the bus anyways. Erg.

I've experienced that pain a number of times. If the funding doesn't come through from the state, it will only get worse.
And I disagree slightly with you. When the CTA is good, it's just OK.
