You can rent a private CTA train for $3000

The Chicago Transit Authority lets customers charter private “L” trains for parties.

Looking for a way to get youself and 34 of your closest friends from point A to point B? You can rent out a CTA train for your next event. 

The cost starts at $3,000, plus a deposit, depending on the size and length of the event. 

From the Downtown Loop through Chicago’s unique neighborhoods to the outer reaches of the city and back, CTA trains offer a quick and easy way to see the whole city. 

Trains are available for chartering most times, except weekday rush hours – approximately 6-9 a.m. and 3-6 p.m.

From weddings on the CTA to train-themed birthday parties – the opportunities are endless.

Food, non-alcoholic beverages, decorations, battery-operated sound systems and live music are all permitted. Each car holds approximately 35 people comfortably.
