Updated: 03/23/2023 6PM
If you plan on sprinting in the Shamrock Shuttle Race, then allow CTA to be your #1 travel option. Customers can save money by purchasing 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.
