Map shows physical locations where CTA fare media, such as Transit Cards, CTA Passes and Chicago Cards were sold through approximately July 2014, prior to the implementation of Ventra cards. The locations for Ventra card sales/reloading are more extensive and not yet available in this format. Please see http://www.transitchicago.com/ventra for information on the Ventra program and https://www.ventrachicago.com/retailers/locations to find Ventra retail locations.

This list shows daily totals of ridership, by station entry, for each 'L' station dating back to 2001. Dataset shows entries at all turnstiles, combined, for each station. Daytypes are as follows: W=Weekday, A=Saturday, U=Sunday/Holiday. See attached readme file for information on how these numbers are calculated.

This dataset shows total daily ridership on a per-route basis dating back to 2001. Daytypes are as follows: W=Weekday, A=Saturday, U=Sunday/Holiday. See attached readme file for more detailed information.

This list of 'L' stops provides location and basic service availability information for each place on the CTA system where a train stops, along with formal station names and stop descriptions.

This dataset lists monthly station entry averages, by day type (Weekday, Saturday or Sunday/Holiday), as well as monthly totals, beginning in 2001. Note that some stations (such as on the Cermak Branch--now Pink Line) and Skokie did not have Saturday and/or Sunday/holiday service until more recent years, although, in cases where weekday service ran past midnight, late evening fares may appear as part of Saturday tallies.
