CTA Holiday Train & Bus

The CTA Holiday Fleet is a festive tradition in Chicago, featuring a holiday-themed train and bus decorated with lights, garlands, and cheerful holiday scenes. This beloved event allows riders to bring small dogs in carriers along for the fun! Santa Claus himself rides along with his reindeer, with photos available on certain dates. The train and bus begin travel in late November through late December as part of regular service, making stops at all stations along the respective routes. Schedules for each rail line and bus route will vary. Normal CTA fares apply.
