Right now there are 3 apps that most public transit users in Chicago will utilize. Ideally, that would be just one app. This app combines all 3.
The majority (66.7%) of users said that the apps they used to navigate transit were only somewhat easy to navigate. Many users commented that information was difficult to find on the apps, however, they felt that the apps ultimately did the job.
Most users don’t have an issue with the Ventra app, and they appreciate being able to load money easily and pay for tickets digitally.
Create an account, enter a payment method for purchasing tickets, create a list of favorite destinations, and view a tutorial video and Metra website links to learn how to use the Metra app to navigate the transit system.
Search for a destination under recent or favorites, choose a public transit route, get step by step directions to the train station. Once at the station, get prompted to scan your QR code for ticket payment, choose whether you want navigation to continue, and if so, get prompted before and at your stop.
