You will be able to pay for your CTA fare with your iPhone

Don’t you hate it when the ticket machine at the CTA stop requires exact change and all you have is a 5 dollar bill?  Soon, if you have an iPhone, this dilemma will be in the past.  Later this year, the CTA will allow iPhone users to store their Ventra card on their phones.  You will be able to load money into the card from Apple Pay.  The app will work on both El trains and CTA buses.  The CTA will be one of the first transit agencies to adopt the feature.
