What are the different fare options?

The Chicago Transit Authority offers a variety of fare options to accommodate the different needs of its riders. First and foremost, there are single-ride tickets available for both buses and trains. In addition to single-ride tickets, the CTA also provides an option for a 1-Day Pass, which allows unlimited rides on both buses and trains for one day. For those who plan to use the system more frequently, a 3-Day Pass is available, granting unlimited travel over a three-day period. There is also a 7-Day Pass, which is designed for those who need a week of unlimited travel. For regular commuters, there are 30-Day Passes, offering unlimited rides for thirty consecutive days. Another important fare option is the Ventra Card. This reloadable card can hold value that allows riders to pay for their trips easily. Riders can add money to the card or purchase passes on it. The Ventra Card is also designed to be convenient, as it can be used for both CTA services and some Metra services, should riders choose to transfer between systems. Additionally, some discounts are available for seniors, people with disabilities, and students. These discounts can often be accessed through specific fare media, such as reduced fare cards.
