CTA recommends allowing plenty of travel time and purchasing fares and unlimited-ride passes in advance. More information about purchasing fares is below.

Interruption of Green and Pink Line Service between Clinton and Ashland Stations
There will be a temporary interruption in Green and Pink Line service this weekend from 10 p.m. Fri. July 12 to 4 a.m. Mon. July 15, 2019 between Clinton and Ashland stations.

Note that there will be no Pink Line service in the Loop during this period.

CTA will provide free bus shuttle service between Clinton and Ashland stations for the duration of the interruption and encourages customers to allow for extra travel time.

This service interruption is due to repair and maintenance of rail tracks as part of CTA’s FastTracks program. FastTracks is designed to provide customers with a faster commute and smoother ‘L’ ride. More information here: www.transitchicago.com/fasttracks/

Buy your unlimited ride passes and fares in advance
Avoid long lines to buy fares! Customers can add  unlimited ride passes (1-day, 3-day, 7-day and 30-day) or add money to pay per-ride to their Ventra cards ahead of time via the free Ventra app, at rail station Ventra vending machines, online or at nearly 900 local retailers (for locations visit ventrachicago.com or the Ventra app).

Customers can also purchase 1-day unlimited ride tickets ($10) or single-ride tickets ($3) from all Ventra vending machines. Single-ride tickets include up to two transfers in two hours. Customers can also pay their fares with their personal contactless debit or credit cards.
