’Tis the season for free rides.

Starting Wednesday, Dec. 26, through Saturday, Dec. 29, up to three children 13 years of age and under may ride any train for free — all weekend, holiday, off-peak or rush hour weekday trains — when accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Quiet car remains in effect on the last car of rush hour trains during this time.

Nicole Barker, Director of Capital Investment & Implementation, said, “It’s important to us that we let our riders know how valuable they are and how much we appreciate their loyal ridership throughout the year. Hopefully adding more free rides for kids will allow more families to enjoy the holiday activities along the South Shore Line and in Chicago.”
