CTA providing additional service for sporting events this week
NOTE: CTA will run on a normal schedule on Mon. Jan. 21 – Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
No matter what the forecast predicts this season, you can rely on CTA’s buses and trains to get you there safely, conveniently and affordably! We have developed myriad strategies to address snow, ice and subzero temperatures to ensure our passengers arrive at their destination hassle-free.
CTA recommends allowing plenty of travel time and purchasing fares and unlimited-ride passes ahead of time. More information about purchasing fares is below.
