Senior citizens can ride Chicago's busses and trains free of charge starting this week.
News reports in the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times suggest many seniors appreciate the opportunity. For some, the savings on transit fare will help balance rising prices for groceries and medications. Others say they plan to get out more -- to see relatives, spend time at the community center, and even take in the opera!
If you're a senior, do you plan to use public transportation more often now that it's free? If so, tell us where you plan to go.
Also, if you're 65 years of age or older, and you want to take advantage of free rides, visit one of nearly 200 locations across the city where you can register. Learn what you'll need to bring with you by reading the Regional Transportation Authority's Free Rides for Seniors registration guide.
