Sightseeing in Chicago via Public Transporation

In summary, the best public transportation options for sightseeing in Chicago are the CTA trains and buses, which have extensive routes and cover major tourist attractions. To purchase a pass, you can get a Ventra card at train stations or online, or buy single-ride tickets or day passes at certain retail locations. Public transportation is a convenient way to get to Chicago's major attractions, and discounts are available for seniors, students, and individuals with disabilities. While generally safe, it is important to be aware of your surroundings and take precautions, such as avoiding traveling alone at night and utilizing the CTA's "Safe and Secure" program.
