Summer Fun is More Fun (and Less Expensive) When You Ride with Pace; Service added this season to Sox games and TOYOTA PARK soccer games and concerts.

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. -- Talk to your friends, read a book or magazine, sit back and let Pace do the driving for half the price of a gallon of gas. Consider that there's no cost for parking and you've really reduced the expense of summer entertainment.

Whether your summer destination is Brookfield Zoo, the Chicago Botanic Gardens, events at the Allstate Arena, soccer games or concerts at TOYOTA PARK, your local pool, library, or shopping mall, O'Hare or Midway Airports, many Pace routes with a regular fare of $1.50 can get you there. A transfer to or from another Pace route is only 25 cents more. For baseball games and Six Flags Great America, Special Events buses with a round-trip fare of $7.50 are still a bargain for the distance they travel and direct-to-the-event convenience. Groups of six or more pay only $5.00 for round trip Special Events bus tickets.

This summer Pace has added the "Go-Go Sox Express" Special Events service operating through August to all home games from six different south suburban locations including the just added Harvey Transportation Center. It joins the "Cubs Roundtripper" also operating to all home games through August from the Northwest Transportation Center in Schaumburg and Yorktown Mall in Lombard. (Both baseball Special Events services operate to night, weekend and holiday games in September and October.) The Six Flags Express operates to the Six Flags Great America Park in Gurnee on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, now through August 19 with departures from Schaumburg and the Rosemont CTA Station.

With the high price of admission and gas, it makes sense to take advantage of low cost public transportation.
