The agency confirmed to ABC7 Friday that two of their accounts are no longer active on the site formerly known as Twitter.
The CTA and CTA service alerts X accounts now have disclaimers saying they are no longer active.
The CTA released the following statement Friday:
"After careful consideration, CTA has decided to suspend the use of its general information (@cta) and service alerts (@ctaAlerts) accounts on Twitter/X.com, as this social media platform no longer provides the value it once did for us to effectively reach and communicate with our riders. The @CTARPM account on X.com is unaffected and will continue to provide project information and updates through the remainder of project work. For real-time service information, CTA riders are encouraged to sign up for our subscription alerts available via text/email, which can be customized to provide information for preferred routes. For the occasional CTA riders, real-time service alerts will continue to available at transitchicago.com."
No further information about the agency's decision to leave the social media site was immediately available.
