A woman is suing the city's transit authority over allegations she sustained injuries on a bus.
Tiffany Tucker filed a lawsuit July 29 in the Cook County Circuit Court against the Chicago Transit Authority, citing negligence.

Tucker claims the CTA was negligent by and through its employee who failed to operate the bus in a safe manner.
