how much is it to ride the el in chicago
Chicago "L" As of 2018[update], the "L" uses a flat fare of $2.50 for almost the entire system, the only exception being O'Hare International Airport on the Blue Line, at which passengers entering the station are charged a higher fare of $5.00 (passengers leaving the system at this station are not charged this higher fare).[32] The higher fare is being charged for what the CTA considers "premium-level" service to O'Hare.[33] Use of the Midway International Airport Station does not require this higher fare; it only requires the $2.50 regular fare.[32] The higher charge at O'Hare has been the source of some controversy in recent years, because of the CTA's plan to eliminate the exemption from the premium fare for airport workers, Transportation Security Administration workers, and airline workers.[33] After protests from those groups, the CTA extended the exemptions for six months.[34]
