The Chicago Transit Authority, or CTA, provides train and bus service throughout Chicago and dozens of neighboring communities. Eight ‘L’ train lines cross the city providing rapid transit services (known as a “subway” or “metro” system in many cities). 140 local and express bus routes complement this system. Many routes run from early morning through late evening, year-round, and a number run 24/7. Many of CTA’s services connect with or compliment other regional travel services, including Metra commuter rail and Pace suburban bus services.
