Metra is now accepting credit cards at all staffed stations
Metra is now accepting credit cards at all of its downtown stations, all other manned stations and at the 14 busiest Metra Electric stations.
Metra takes Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover cards for all ticket purchases at LaSalle Street Station, Millennium Station, Van Buren Station, Chicago Union Station and the Ogilvie Transportation Center. Metra also takes those cards at all 76 outlying stations where an agent is on duty and from new credit-card vending machines at the 14 busiest Metra Electric stations.
Metra Electric stations have vending machines because that line generally does not have ticket agents. The credit-card vending machines are in addition to the cash-based machines that are already in place along the line.
Metra also accepts those credit cards on its website for monthly passes and 10-Ride ticket purchases.
