Similarly, can you pay for CTA with cash?
On the bus, you can pay for a one-way fare in cash. Buses accept $1 bills and most coins (no half-dollars). Transfer is not available when paying in cash on the bus. If you need to transfer, use a Ventra Card or Ticket.
Subsequently, question is, can you pay cash on LA buses? On Metro bus, you can pay cash each time you board (bus operators don't carry change, so you'll need exact fare) or buy and add up to $20 to a reusable TAP card. Reduced cash fares are available for senior, students, and disabled riders with valid proof of status.
In this way, how much is bus fare in Chicago?
