CTA (Chicago Transit Authority)

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is the organization responsible for operating public transportation services in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. It manages a network of buses and trains (the "L" train system), providing affordable and reliable transit options for daily commuters, students, and visitors. The CTA's goal is to facilitate efficient movement across the city, reduce traffic congestion, and improve access to different neighborhoods. It is a government agency funded through fare revenues, public subsidies, and other sources, and it plays a vital role in Chicago's transportation infrastructure.
