Extra service to concerts and sporting events at the United Center; Weekend work to temporarily impact the Red Line
CTA’s buses and trains provide a convenient way to travel to work, school, shopping, festive activities and more. Customers can save money by purchasing one of our unlimited rides passes, either the CTA’s 1-Day ($5) – far more economical and convenient than the price of gas and parking - or the 3-Day ($15) pass – a real budget-saving move.
