CTA SERVICE CUTS AND RATE
INCREASES
We're all anxiously awaiting word on the pending CTA
Service Cuts and Rate Increases scheduled to take effect on
Sunday, Septmber 16th.
Due to insufficient state funding, the Chicago
Transit Authority Board recently approved a contingency plan
which includes changes to CTA service and fares. Without
additional funding, this contingency plan will take effect on
September 16, 2007. Customers who pay with cash or Transit
Cards and use the CTA weekdays will pay higher fares at rail
stations and on buses (depending on the time of day they
ride). Fares will also increase for customers who use Chicago
Card® and Chicago Card Plus®. Visit www.transitchicago.com to learn more
about CTA's 2007 fare changes.
Under this plan, beginning September 16, the fare for
Chicago Card and Chicago Card Plus customers will increase
from $1.75 to $2.00 per ride, and 25¢ for a transfer
(which allows two additional rides within two hours of
issuance), regardless of the time of day. However, the
bonus structure currently in place will remain, providing a $2
bonus for every $20 of Pay-Per-Use value added to an account.
The cost of a 30-day unlimited Chicago Card Plus card will
also increase from $75.00 to $84.00.
If the fare change goes into effect on September 16, the
new $2.00 fare will be deducted from your Pay-Per-Use Chicago
Card Plus account. Those who use the Chicago Card Plus 30-day
unlimited ride pass, and whose reload occurs on or after
September 16, will be charged the new rate of $84.00 on their
accounts. | |
