Zol87 Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Recently, I was doing a lot of traveling on Pace running errands while my bike was broken. I went all over from Skokie to Wilmette to Evanston to Niles and back. I probably took about 8 bus rides around the area in one day and spent almost $6.00 on my Chicago Card. Does anyone else think that Pace should develop a one day pass like the CTA has. It is very useful for those who spend a whole day running around like I do sometimes and would save me a lot of $$. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 As far as it would save someone a lot of money, it probably wouldn't or Pace wouldn't adopt it. A CTA one day is $5.75, and CTA doesn't sell cash bus transfers. Out of the 8 rides, you said you spent $6.00, so a decent number must have been transfers. If you had plunked down 8 cash fares, it would have been $14.00, so theoretically you saved $8 already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DevalDragon Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I don't know why they don't raise the cost of the 1 Day Pass to $6.00, give the extra quarter to Pace, and make the 1 Day Pass good on Pace as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel bernero Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I have a Pace One Day pass in my transfer collection. I received it from a retired driver that had worked out of South Holland. Supposedly could only buy it at the Hodgkins UPS plant. It is printed on the back 'Use by 12-01-05. Mel Bernero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
