Service Dates:
Please note that Pace is not able to serve every Guaranteed Rate Field event due to various resource constraints.
The Guaranteed Rate Field Express serves most weekend and holiday events all season and most events in June, July, and early August. There is no service to weekday afternoon and evening games in April, May, late August, or September due to our school-related services.
Pace is also unable to serve makeup or playoff games due to driver scheduling and bus availability issues with the extremely short notice of game dates and starting times.
Service Hours:
Buses are scheduled to arrive 1 hour before the first pitch or prior to the concert starts. Buses depart from Guaranteed Rate Field 30 minutes after the game ends.
Drop-off and pick-up points are marked with Pace bus stop signs on 35th Street. Riders should ensure they board the bus headed to their correct destination.
Cost:
Only $4.50 per person each way! Riders can use cash, mobile wallets (Samsung/Google/Fitbit/Apple Pay apps) or your personal contactless bankcard. Exact change is required if paying with cash.
Surcharges apply and can be paid with cash or Ventra transit value for riders using regular Pace/CTA passes or when transferring from other Pace/CTA service. Transfers are not available using contactless debit/credit cards unless they are registered to your Ventra account. Free rides for RTA Ride Free Cardholders and up to two children (under 7 years old) riding with each fare paying adult. Reduced fares are available for RTA Reduced Fare qualified riders.
Schedule:
See link above for current schedule.
Fans can also take Pace's regular fixed-route buses to all Guaranteed Rate Field events at lower regular fares via connections with CTA rail lines and buses. See our RTA trip planner to determine the best alternate non-express way to get to Guaranteed Rate Field!
Those interested in more information should call 847-228-2416, TTY 708-339-4062, or RTA Travel Information Center 836-7000 (from any Chicagoland area code).
