CTA Returns to Pre-Pandemic Rail Service Levels with New Fall Schedule

As part of its commitment to riders to improve service frequency, the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) today announced details of the fall rail service schedule, which will result in added services along all eight rail lines, across all days of the week – the equivalent of a 20 percent increase in scheduled weekly roundtrips.

Now’s the Time to Hop Aboard the CTA: More Service, More Saving

CTA makes getting to school, work, appointments and other destinations across town easier than ever. With the new fall rail schedule now in effect, CTA is back to providing pre-pandemic levels of rail service. When bundled with the purchase of 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 – its only makes “cents” to take public transit.
