When will CTA charge my credit card? |
Pay-Per-Use
|
30-Day Pass
|
|
|
Your credit card is first charged when you set the initial value of your Pay-Per-Use fare choice: $10, $20, $30, $40 or $60. |
|
|
|
Your credit card will be charged each time your Chicago Card Plus account is reloaded with additional money. This occurs automatically when your account value falls to $10. |
|
|
|
These charges depend on the reload amount you selected when establishing the account: $10, $20, $30, $40 or $60. A $2 bonus is earned for every $20 reloaded to your account. |
|
|
|
|
|
Your credit card was first charged when you selected a $75 30-Day Pass. |
|
|
|
Your credit card will be charged $75 on the 27th day of each 30-day cycle, when your account reloads a new pass. |
|
|
|
Your credit card will be charged for all passback* charges incurred. |
|
|
|
*See passback policies listed below under fare choices. |

|
|
What happens if I change my fare choice? |
Pay-Per-Use
|
30-Day Pass
|
|
|
If changing your fare choice to a 30-Day Pass, your credit card will be charged $75 (cost of a 30-Day Pass) minus the amount remaining in your account at the time of the change. Your 30-Day Pass will begin the next time your Chicago Card Plus is used. |
|
|
|
|
|
If changing your fare choice to Pay-Per-Use, the Pay-Per-Use fare transactions will begin upon completion of the current 30-day cycle. The change should be made prior to the 27th day of the current 30-day cycle. This prevents automatic reloading of a new $75 30-Day Pass. If the change is made after the 27th day, the $75 that was automatically charged to your credit card will be available for Pay-Per-Use fares upon completion of the current 30-day cycle. |

Passback Policies:
Passback privileges allow up to seven customers to board the same bus route or pass through the same rail station turnstile within up to an 18-minute period using your card. Each passback ride will have the appropriate fare (full fare or transfer) deducted from your account. If you have chosen a 30-Day Pass, your fare will be recorded as an unlimited ride on the 30-Day Pass. Each passback ride will have the appropriate fare (full fare or transfer) deducted from your Chicago Card Plus account and charged to your credit card. The charge will include all passback charges plus $10, which will be immediately available for future fare payment. For more information on passback,
