When It Comes to Spooky Fun this Halloween Weekend, Ditch the Scary Costs of Driving and Rely on CTA to Get You to All Your Favorite Haunts Across the City

October 26, 2023

CTA’s trains and buses are the best and most affordable ways to get to various sporting events, concerts, haunted houses, pumpkin patches, witchy covens and graveyards around Chicago

CTA will deliver you to and from all the chills and thrills of your favorite spooky gatherings happening across the city this Halloween 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.
