Rethink Your Commute with Chicagoland’s Pace Bus
Spend Your Commute Freeing Your Mind
Traffic is stressful, so let Pace handle it. Avoid aggressive drivers altogether and choose how you use your commute—whether it’s for productivity, self care, or just something more fun than driving.
Spend Your Commute Counting Your Savings
There are lots of reasons why riding Pace adds up, but none as clear as the cost savings compared to owning a vehicle (plus fuel, parking, and insurance). With Pace's standard fare at $2.00 and premium fares at $4.50, the savings on your daily commute can really add up.
How much can you save riding the bus? Tell us. Whether it’s justifying dinner out or saving up for the trip of a lifetime, we’d love for you to share how riding Pace adds up on Facebook or Twitter.
Spend Your Commute Reducing Your Footprint
Public transportation use saves the equivalent of 900,000 automobile fill-ups every day (4.2 billion gallons of gas), and the “leverage effect” of public transportation reduces the nation’s carbon emissions by 37 million metric tons annually.
By offering public transportation, Pace is helping reduce the number of cars on the road—resulting in fewer carbon emissions overall. We’re committed to advancing sustainability by improving the energy-efficiency of our own systems and vehicles.
- Pace’s entire fleet of energy-efficient buses uses clean diesel or an even more energy-efficient option
- Nearly 100 vehicles are fueled with compressed natural gas, which emits fewer greenhouse gases than diesel
- Pace has introduced several solar powered bus stops
