Thank you Metra for the amazing service that is provided. Keep it up all of the men and women working for this company… Metra has never failed me when the CTA has.

[@Chicago.Intermodal.Productions]

Looking Good Metra!

This makes no sense. My 45 min train ride costs more than someone’s 2 hour train ride. My station is closer to Chicago, but I’m in zone 4. University park is way further from downtown than me but is in zone 3. Or what about people that use the 10 ride because they take the train one way?

[@youwereprettylasttimeisawy1227]

south side trains get reduced fare, thats why

[@ThisIsChaz]

Going from $2.00 to $3.75 is crazy. So going from Hyde Park to 18th street (a 10 min ride) wow….

[@Token_Nerd]

Wait wait, Chicago did something incredibly based?

[@TheLIRRFrenchie...]

Man, could you guys call Metro North and the LIRR and give them some adive on what a proper fare structure should look like 😂.

[@MetroNorth203Productions]

What happened to Locomotives 115 and 216?

[@MikeT-in1eg]

So I have to pay pay 3.75 if I want to get from Homewood to hazel crest?? Cook county transit is garbage whether cta or metra that’s why everyone in the city drives now

[@themegbite3342]

You guys should do more ride alongs on all your rides

[@White_sox_fan]

hello this is the Metra delivery confirming your order of 1 million Siemens ACS-64 for the metra electric line

[@hogz9514]

Absolutely terrible paying double what I used to😂😂😂. And to top it off your app never works anyway

[@austinn.4389]

I live in Jefferson Park and do a minimum wage job downtown in the loop area off Michigan Avenue near Tribune Tower. Does this affect my monthly pass? I’m confused.

[@Gretri17]

For what I see, no it does not. I assume you take the Blue Line, so you can disregard this news unless you somehow take Metra to get to the loop from Jefferson Park

[@Metra.Fan.216]

Wow, Well Metra. Great thing we still have Sir Topham hatt on our side even though Captain Hook made him walk the plank in the film CN Rail the Movie Since Mario with pixie dust save the crew from falling in. Can't wait to see These New Locomotives coming June 2024. hopefully Tinker bell doesn't try to damage Loco 300 cause of its paint scheme that Matches Wendys Dress in Peter Pan 1953

[@LinnyUwU]

what the hell

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

Get your fanfiction shit out of this comment section

[@brunhildevalkyrie]

I appreciate the simplified fare zones, but I hate that they're trying to force people to use the terrible ventra app. The only useful thing the ventra app does is makes it easier for the government to track us.

[@turtalia4537]

I've got bad news about what your phone does then...

[@brunhildevalkyrie]

@@turtalia4537 Yes. It makes you use a phone.
