CTA’s trains and buses will get you to various sporting events, concerts, the Grand Menorah Lighting Ceremony in Daley Plaza and Winter Fireworks at Navy Pier reliably and affordably
While Chicagoland is predicted to become a winter wonderland in the coming days, never fear because the CTA is here to get you to where you want to be. 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.
