Anyone ever consider just expensing a CTA 30 day pass? I figure cheaper than just 2 taxis from or to ORD/MDW?

If you travel here for work... Sure? Or just get a Ventra card, preload with $, register it, and use it every time you return...

If you're planning to do ORD-Loop on the weekends this summer stick with cabs. They are doing maintenance on the blue line and it's hellish.

Was considering using it as a replace for taxis most of the time. I live in Chicago but have 2x weekly airport travels (not loop, so luckily can avoid any of the maintenance you’re mentioning.. I hope).

Look on ToD and sign up for WageWorks. You can buy a 30 day transit pass or load your Ventra card with pre-tax money. If you go the latter route you can manually expense each trip and you will actually come out ahead!
