CTA’s trains and buses are the best and most affordable ways to get to various sporting events and concerts across town
If you are planning to attend the White Sox Home Opener, let CTA get you to Rate Field. 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.
