Can I use my Ventra card to pay for rideshare services?

Currently, the Ventra card is primarily designed for use on Chicago Transit Authority services, such as buses and trains. It is not accepted for direct payment to rideshare services like Uber or Lyft. These rideshare providers typically require their own payment methods, which may include credit or debit cards, digital wallets, or in-app payment options. While some users may have third-party payment methods linked to their rideshare accounts, the Ventra card itself does not function in that context. It is always advisable to check the latest information on the official Ventra website for any updates or changes to their services and accepted payment methods.
