CHICAGO HEAVY RAIL
Cars, "L" and Buildings

Part of CTA car #2401 is in view in this close-up from street level along Wabash, near Van Buren. 

The CTA has become a later transit agency to adopt stored-value fare cards, and their system seems more complicated than some.   The full fare is $2.00, cheaper with various multiple-use options.  A second (and third) use within two hours is only an additional twenty-five cents.  All-day (technically, 24 hour) visitor passes are available for $5.00, but only at very selected locations.
