Passes

CTA Unlimited Ride Cards

Get around Chicago on less than $6 a day!

You can enjoy unlimited rides on all CTA buses and trains with our 1-Day Fun Pass, or 3-day, 7-day or 30-day unlimited-ride passes. Your pass activates the first time you use it and is good for the number of consecutive days shown on the front of the pass. CTA's unlimited-ride passes make getting to Chicago's top attractions quick, easy and more affordable than cab rides or parking fees.

Note: CTA unlimited-ride passes are not valid on Metra (commuter railroad) trains or Pace buses (see exceptions)*. Passes cannot be shared or recharged.

• Your Best Travel Value: Unlimited-ride passes offer you the most economical travel value. With unlimited rides, the more you ride, the more you save! Note: For multiple rides on CTA, Visitor Passes are a great option for kids, too. The regular cash fare for kids ages 7-11 is $1. Children under age 7 ride free.

Buying passes

You can buy your passes online from the CTA store, from vending machines at certain train stations, or at retail locations around town.

Also, you can use a Chicago Card Plus as a 30-day pass, which recharges itself automatically so you never need to buy a new fare again.
