Gallery of CTA bus services: two local services (one diesel, one electric), theUnion Station Transit Center, andLoop Link bus lanes

Chicago Transit Authority bus services are provided throughoutChicago, Illinois and the surrounding suburbs, operated by theChicago Transit Authority (CTA). As of January 2025^[update], the CTA has 1,966 buses that operate 127 routes.^[1] In 2024, the CTA bus system had a ridership of 181,733,800, or about 594,700 per weekday as of the third quarter of 2025.

The first street railway service began in 1859 along State Street. At the time, the service was operated usinghorsecars. Within the next few decades, additional horsecar services, which were operated by multiple companies, entered operation. Throughout the 1880s, these lines were converted tocable cars.^[2][3][4] Between the 1890s and the 1900s, cable cars were replaced with electric streetcars.^[2][5]

In 1914, the streetcar companies operating in Chicago were consolidated into theChicago Surface Lines.^[6] In 1947, the consolidated company was acquired by the newly created Chicago Transit Authority.^[2]

Within the next decade after the acquisition, the CTA oversaw the removal of streetcar lines in favor of motor buses. On June 21, 1958, the last streetcar service, the Clark-Wentworth route, was removed.^[2][7]

In 1953, the CTA placed an order forFlxible buses after the latter's absorption of theFageolTwin Coach Company.^{[citation needed]}

Until 1973, CTA's fleet included a large number ofelectric trolley buses – or "trolley coaches", as they were commonly known at the time.^[8] In the 1950s, the fleet of around 700 trolley coaches was the largest such fleet in the U.S., and represented about one-quarter of CTA's total number of surface-transit vehicles (motor bus, trolley bus and, until 1958,streetcar).^[8][9]

Possibly influenced by the1967 Chicago blizzard, during which CTA trolley buses were unable to maneuver around abandoned automobiles without dewiring, CTA decided to discontinue trolley bus service. Trolley bus service was phased out in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and trolley buses ran for the last time on March 25, 1973.^[8][9]

CTA buses were known as the "green limousine" or the "big green" — buses were one or more shades of green from the CTA's establishment until the end of the 1980s. With the delivery of theTMCRTS buses in 1991, a more patriotic color scheme was adopted, and the green scheme was fully phased out by 1996.^{[citation needed]} A notable color scheme was the "Bicentennial" of about 1974 to 1976.^[10]

CTA bought very few buses between the mid-1970s and the end of the 1980s. During this time, purchases were only made in 1979 (20MAN/AM GeneralSG 220articulated buses), 1982-83 (200FlyerD901 buses and 125 additional MAN articulateds), and 1985 (362 MAN Americana standard-length buses). Another aspect of this period was that with the exception of the 1979 and 1983 MAN orders, none of those buses had air-conditioning, a budget saving move by the CTA. The 1972-76 fleet ofGM "New Look" buses, 1870 total, which were originally air-conditioned (although there were problems with the air-conditioning systems, eventually being disabled and sliding windows installed in the buses), composed the majority of vehicles in service into the early 1990s.^{[citation needed]}

In 1995, the CTA placed an experimental order of their first 65 low floor transit buses fromNew Flyer Industries, theD40LF. Also, that same year, the CTA received its last order of high floor buses from Flxible Corporation, shortly before the manufacturer folded. In 1998, the CTA placed an order for 484 new low floor transit buses from Canadian bus-building firmNova Bus. This executed move billed the CTA as Nova's American launch customer for the latter's signature product, the LFS series. This was also done to meet the "Buy American" requirements for buses in the United States transit bus market, sinceGeneral Motors ceased bus production and Flxible went out of business. Lastly, these buses replaced the ones that were built in 1983 and 1985 due to their age as well as their lack of air conditioning and ADA compliance.^{[citation needed]}

In the 2010s, bus projects that sought to implement some features ofbus rapid transit were conducted.^[11][12] TheJeffery Jump opened in November 2012,^[13][14] and theLoop Link opened in December 2015.^[15][16]

Today,^[when?] CTA's fleet is mostly dominated by the New Flyer D40LF which replaced buses that were built in 1991 and 1995. In 2014, CTA ordered 400 new buses fromNova. The number increased to 425 after it exercised an option. The CTA exercised another option for an additional twenty-five buses, from Nova Bus. Nova Bus delivered an additional 600 new buses which replaced the remainder of the older Nova buses that were delivered between 2000 and 2002, in addition to starting the retirement of New Flyer D40LF buses delivered between 2006 and 2009.^{[citation needed]}

In 2014, the CTA received their first electric buses from New Flyer, making the CTA the first major U.S. transit agency to use the new wave of electric buses as part of a regular service.^[17]
