The Chicago Card® is an exciting new generation of farecard!
Touch the Chicago Card to the bus farebox or rail turnstile and go.
You can store up to $300 on your Chicago Card, which earns a $2 bonus for every $20 of added value. You can add value to your card at any CTA vending machine or at any Touch-n-Go location.
By registering your Chicago Card you can protect its value against theft or loss. For a $5 replacement fee, CTA will send you a new card, complete with the value that was on your original card when you reported the loss.
Registration is free, easy, and well worth the few seconds it takes.
* Chicago Card not valid on Pace route #835.
No more reaching into your wallet. No more digging deep into your
pockets. The Chicago Card is available and ready to streamline your commute on
CTA buses and trains and Pace buses.*
The Chicago Card is faster than using cash or Transit Cards because it offers
you touch-and-go boarding!
