Can I use my fare card on both buses and trains?

Asked a year ago
Yes, you can use your fare card on both buses and trains. The Chicago Transit Authority's fare card, known as the Ventra card, is a versatile payment method accepted on all CTA buses and trains, as well as on Pace buses in the suburbs. This convenient card allows you to transfer seamlessly between different modes of transportation within the CTA system. Simply tap your Ventra card on the fare card reader when boarding a bus or entering a train station, and the appropriate fare will be deducted from your card balance. It is important to ensure you have sufficient funds loaded onto your card before your journey. The Ventra card is an easy and flexible way to pay for your trips across the entire CTA network.
