how much is it to ride the el in chicago
Chicago "L" As of 2018[update], the "L" uses a flat fare of $2.50 for almost the entire system, the only exception being O'Hare International Airport on the Blue Line, at which passengers entering the station are charged a higher fare of $5.00 (passengers leaving the system at this station are not charged this higher fare).[32] The higher fare is being charged for what the CTA considers "premium-level" service to O'Hare.[33] Use of the Midway International Airport Station does not require this higher fare; it only requires the $2.50 regular fare.[32] The higher charge at O'Hare has been the source of some controversy in recent years, because of the CTA's plan to eliminate the exemption from the premium fare for airport workers, Transportation Security Administration workers, and airline workers.[33] After protests from those groups, the CTA extended the exemptions for six months.[34]
Taxicabs of New York City Starting in 2011, medallion prices dropped considerably likely due to competition from ride-share services.[94] As of OctoberÂ 2016[update], medallion prices had dropped to around $500,000 in value, with one medallion dropping to $250,000.[107] There was also a decrease in taxi usage: in November 2016, there were 336,737 daily trips that netted $4.98 million, a decrease from the 463,701 daily trips netting $5.17 million in November 2010.[108][109] However, in mid-2016, after a five-year decline, taxi usage began to increase again.[95] Due to this competition, medallion owners sued the city and Uber in November 2015.[110] By 2017, the 60,000 ride share vehicles in New York City outnumbered the city's medallion vehicles at a ratio of almost 4 to 1,[108] and many medallion owners faced the prospect of bankruptcy or severe debt because of the low medallion prices, which few entities were willing to buy.[94][3] Medallion holders had trouble making payments on the loans that they borrowed to pay for the medallions.[3]
