Ventra is the easy new way to pay for Pace and CTA
Benefits of transitioning to the new Ventra Card include some fare policy changes:
- New 30-Day Premium Pass will be available for Express Routes
- The 10-Ride Plus Ticket will be replaced by the Ventra Card, allowing you to add the amount of transit value you need.
- The Student Haul Pass will be replaced by the 30-Day Reduced Fare Pass, with no change in price and flexibility to begin 30-day pass period when desired.
- Transfer Cards will no longer be issued to customers paying with cash as of December 15th. Ventra Card users save money by continuing to offer 25ยข transfers.
Look for Pace staff meeting riders during the transition period through December. For more information, please visit PaceBus.com/Ventra
