CTA’s trains and buses are the best and most affordable ways to get to various sporting events and parades across town
If you are planning to attend the Greek Heritage Parade in Greektown or cheer on the Chicago Cubs, let CTA get you around Chicagoland. Customers can save money by purchasing an unlimited rides pass, either the 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.
