Express Service to Popular Destinations

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

Pace is pleased to reinstate express bus service to Wrigley Field for Chicago Cubs' regular season weekend home games and weekend concerts (see schedule).

Also, express bus service to Soldier Field is being expanded to include weekend concerts in addition to Chicago Bears' regular season weekend home games (see schedule).

Riders of express bus routes enjoy the advantages of avoiding event traffic hassles and very expense parking costs.

Plus, save your cash for the stadium!  You can now use your Ventra card, mobile wallets (Samsung/Google/Fitbit/Apple Pay apps) or your personal contactless bankcard for quicker boarding on ESPD routes. Riders can always continue to pay cash, but the driver cannot give change.
