Hello folks:
I am planning two short trips in Chicago and will use public transit. I still don't understand the contactless "tap" payments. I own an Android Phone with Google Pay. Do I still need the Ventra app? Also, when loading value into the Ventra app, can I load any amount I want?
About the L: how do I transfer from the Blue Line to the Red Line in downtown? My hotel is Acme, which is right next to the Red Line Grand station.
Still confused and would appreciate some help. Thanks.
