Ventra is experiencing a system outage impacting fare payment. Impacted customers will be able to ride free on CTA, Metra and Pace during this time. Ventra is working diligently to resolve the issue; we apologize for the inconvenience.

Why isn't @WBBMNewsradio and @WBBM1059Traffic reporting on @Metra and @metraMED HOUR long delay that @rtachicago isn't alerting about? Is it because they are sponsoring @Audacy and @WBBMNewsradio ? It's not "construction"! A wire is down! @USDOT

First time using the ME line on Metra, so of course all service to University Park is suspended because of a power outage 😂😂

Metra Electric inbound trains movement has been resumed with extensive delays. outbound trains remained stopped at Millennium Station due to Electrical outage. Metra will provide updates as information becomes available.

How much I like a Metra station is dependent on 3 things: 1. How it looks 2. If the interior is locked 3. How easy it is to take my desired pictures. If I have to walk ALLLLL THE WAY DOWN THE PLATFORM and then ALLLLLL THE WAY BACK, it's getting a low score

Outbound train #113, scheduled to arrive University Park at 9:46 AM, is stopped near Matteson due to a power outage . The duration of this delay is unknown. Metra will provide updates as information becomes available.
