CTA provides convenient and affordable bus and train service to Wrigley Field this weekend. The Chicago Cubs will host the Arizona Diamondbacks in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Saturday, October 6 at 5 p.m. and Game 4 on Sunday at 12:07 p.m.
More frequent service will operate on CTA's Red Line which provides direct service to Wrigley Field via the accessible station at Addison. Fans can transfer to Red Line trains from all other rail lines and from most east-west bus routes.
Customers heading to Wrigley Field from Purple Line trains serving the northern suburbs can board Red Line trains at Howard. Fans using this station also can take advantage of convenient Park & Ride lot at Howard and Linden. Parking fees at these lots are $2.
On Sunday, CTA recommends customers heading to Wrigley Field via the Red Line allow extra travel time due to three-track operation at the Belmont and Fullerton stations and the LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon.

- #8 Halsted buses operate north on Halsted from 79th Street to Broadway/Waveland;
- #22 Clark
buses operate north through the Loop on Dearborn and south on Clark from Howard;
- #152 Addison
buses operate on Addison from Cumberland on the west to Lake Shore Drive on the east. For all games, more frequent service will be provided on the #152 Addison route as crowds warrant, starting two hours before game time and operating until one hour after games end; - #154 Wrigley Field Express
buses will operate for fans who wish to combine driving and public transit to travel to the games. #154 buses provide direct service to Wrigley Field from parking lots at DeVry University on Rockwell, a quarter-mile west of Western and a quarter-mile south of Addison.
