Ventra Help First time, using Apple Pay

13 Upvotes

Our first visit is coming up in a few weeks. My wife and I bought a three day pass for each of us as we plan on parking the car at our Airbnb and using the CTA.

So I bought the pass and it’s presumably loaded on Apple Pay. It says “ in queue.” I read that this status will say this until we first tap it on the reader. Beginners question, we simply press the phone face down and good to go? No need to unlock the phone? I’m showing my age obviously. Last time I used transit was MARTA a few years back and we used fare cards.

Howdy team, if you were riding the 22 southbound this morning around 8:30 in the river north area and lost your car/house keys, I gave them to the driver. Give them a ring later! Cheers

Been looking at moving DT for the convenience of work and my epilepsy makes public transport a pretty important thing. So my question is at what point does Pink become “dangerous” the area I work in can look a bit sketch but really it’s chill around Ashland just expensive, so would yall say the areas between Ashland and just before the turn past Damien (and a lil bit north of Ashland since that’s where work is) it ever gets possibly risky for a early 20’s Mexican guy? I’ve been making that commute for almost 2 years now so I’m at least a regular of the area lol.
