CTA’s trains and buses are the best and most affordable ways to get to various sporting events, concerts, and more activities across the city; Weekend construction work to temporarily impact the Red Line
The leaves are in freefall as will be the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday when they square off against the Northwestern Wildcats at Wrigley Field. Let CTA be your #1 travel option as you get to the big game or other fall events around town.
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.
