Public Transit

Chicago's public transportation, the CTA, is not only a easy and affordable way to get around the city it is also a great way it's also a great way to get a feel for varied people and cultures that make Chicago so great.


Full fare on public transit is $2.00 a ride, however you can save money by purchasing Transit card which reduces full fare travel to $1.75 and allows two transfers within two hours. The first transfer is 25 cents and the second transfer is free.


Transit cards are accepted on all buses and trains.. Buses do not give change and trains require you purchase Transit cards from the card vending machines located at all train stations. Once purchased, cards can be reloaded with more money.


The CTA also offer 1, 2, 3 ,5 and 7 day passes which allow un limited travel for a period of time.


You can purchase Transit cards at train stations, airports, major grocery stores.
