Metra adds ticket vending machines at downtown Chicago stations
advertisement
Metra recently installed credit card ticket vending machines at three downtown Chicago terminals.
Three machines were installed at Union Station, two at the Ogilvie Transportation Center and two at LaSalle Street Station. The commuter-rail agency already employs 31 credit card vending machines at the busiest stations on the Metra Electric Line, including that line’s two downtown stations, Millennium and Van Buren.
This spring, Metra plans to install additional machines at the McCormick Place and Route 59 stations. The agency has purchased 43 machines, which cost about $2 million.
Passengers can use the machines to purchase one-way, 10-ride and monthly tickets.
