CTA is advising customers to allow extra travel time.
To speed travel, spectators and participants using public transportation to and from the event are encouraged to buy farecards in advance with sufficient value or to add enough value to their existing farecards (either the Chicago Card or magnetic strip farecard) for their return trips later in the day.
Estimated arrival times for buses that are temporarily rerouted will not be available via the Bus Tracker web site.
