In 1945, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is created on April 12 and given the right to own and operate a local unified transit system. The same year, CTA purchases the Chicago Rapid Transit and Chicago Surface Lines systems, and in 1947, takes over all "L" and streetcar operations in the city. Today, CTA operates approximately 2,000 buses and 1,190 rapid transit cars that combined provide nearly 1.5 million passenger trips a day.
