Service to/from various sporting events across the city; Weekend work to temporarily impact the Blue Line
Choosing to travel by CTA bus and train is a great way to get to school, work, the ballpark and other great outdoor activities -- affordably! 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.
