Disruption of Green and Pink Line Service between Clinton and Ashland this Weekend
There will be a temporary disruption to Green and Pink Line service this weekend between the Clinton and Ashland stations from 11 p.m. Fri. June 21 until 4 a.m. Mon. June 24, 2019. The Morgan station, which is located between Clinton and Ashland, will be closed for the duration of the service interruption.
During this period, free bus shuttle service will be provided between the affected stations. CTA encourages customers to allow for extra travel time.
This service disruption will allow crews to repair rail tracks as part of CTA’s FastTracks program. FastTracks is designed to provide customers with a faster commute and smoother 'L' ride. More information here: www.transitchicago.com/fasttracks/
Buy your unlimited ride passes and fares in advance
Avoid long lines to buy fares! Customers can add unlimited ride passes (1-day, 3-day, 7-day and 30-day) or add money to pay per-ride to their Ventra cards ahead of time via the free Ventra app, at rail station Ventra vending machines, online or at nearly 900 local retailers (for locations visit ventrachicago.com or the Ventra app).
Customers can also purchase 1-day unlimited ride tickets ($10) or single-ride tickets ($3) from all Ventra vending machines. Single-ride tickets include up to two transfers in two hours. Customers can also pay their fares with their personal contactless debit or credit cards.
