| Transit smart cards in the planning stages for Ottawa's OC Transpo »
October 28, 2008
Posted by Dan at 4:43 PM
The Chicago Transit Authority is looking for ways to make life a little easier for commuters. The latest method is a joint smart card that works for Chicago public transit vehicles as well as rental cars from a local car sharing program called I-Go. The aim of the single-card solution is to provide public transit riders with additional travel options beyond the train and bus.
Those interested in the smart card must first sign up for the I-Go car-sharing service and register for the CTA's Chicago Card Plus. They'll then receive a single smart card that can be used to pay for fares when traveling by train or bus, and also to unlock I-Go vehicles. The program is expected to launch in December.
