Today I’ve got a complete guide to the CTA Bus Public Transportation in Chicago!

If you’re moving to Chicago, just visiting for travel, or you already live here and want to start taking advantage of the incredible public transportation in the Windy City, this guide is for you!

The Chicago Transit Authority is the governing body of the public transportation system here in the city, which includes both buses and trains.

The earliest forms of rapid transit in Chicago were horse drawn cars which began operating in 1859. They could only transport 12 passengers and maxed out at 3mph.
