Getting Around

-Single Ride Pass for $3 if you want to try it out once! - Tourist Pass ("Explorer" Pass) is way better for Chicago visitors - $15 for 3 hour rides over a 24 hour pass period, which is perfect for riding the Lake Shore path. - Official Divvy App lets you unlock a bike from your phone with the code, instead of using the keychain fob. Other third party apps (e.g. Transit) work too.
