If you haven't already, try taking the train

It's been years since I had traveled on a train, but I recently received my RTA Senior Ride Free Permit. So far, I have used it twice to ride Metra to downtown Chicago. Boy, what a treat! No expensive gasoline, no traffic delays and no sky-high parking fees.

Hey seniors, get a Smart Card and try the Metra. You might just like it and it's free. It's also your free ride on PACE and CTA buses.
