CTA’s trains and buses are the most convenient ways to get to various sporting events, concerts, festivals and the annual Pride Parade in Lakeview
CTA is your best way to travel as you celebrate pride, acceptance and love at festivities this weekend. 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.
