Parking at O'Hare can cost up to $60/day. Taking a taxi from Midway can cost an arm and a leg. Wouldn't you like to have more cash to spend on your trip? Save money getting to and from the airport by riding Pace - $2.00 each way!
Pace provides 17 routes that serve either O'Hare International (ORD) or Midway (MDW) airports. Your drop off and pick up locations are conveniently located near Midway's airport entrance, O'Hare's airport ATS ("people mover"), or the CTA Blue Line, which connects into O'Hare Airport. The O'Hare ATS is free, while transfers to the CTA Blue Line cost $0.25.*
Visitors to northeastern Illinois who don't have a Ventra Card can ride Pace buses by paying with your personal bankcard (if it contains a contactless chip) or by paying cash, with exact fare required on the bus.
Bags ride free! There are no luggage restrictions on Pace buses. If you're traveling with caged pets, they ride free as well.

Ventra is valid on both Pace and CTA. Transit value can be used to pay for rides on CTA or Pace, and allows you to transfer from Pace to CTA for only $0.25 and from CTA to Pace for only $0.30. If paying cash, you will need to pay $2.00 on the Pace bus and separately buy a $3.00 limited use Ventra ticket to board the CTA Blue Line at all stations except O'Hare (or a $5.00 Ventra ticket at the O'Hare CTA rail station).The Ventra system (including your personal contactless bankcard) allows you to buy fare products, such as a 7-Day pass valid on CTA and Pace, or load transit value. Ventra is valid on both systems.
Transit value can be used to pay for rides on CTA or Pace, and allows you to transfer between the systems for only $0.30 or less.
