Metra

In an effort to test potential new fare collection technology and gather data, Metra is starting a pilot program on April 6 that will ask riders to launch their Ventra ticket or show their paper ticket before boarding selected trains at downtown stations. metra.com/newsroom/metra…

Happy National Transit Employee Appreciation Day to our incredible team. Your work provides safe, comfortable, and on-time service to countless riders across our region. We appreciate and value each of your contributions to Metra. Thank you for all that you do. @APTA_info

Strong partnerships build stronger infrastructure. Thanks to @RepMikeQuigley and rail labor leader Bob Guy of @IllinoisTD for championing H.R. 6889, the BRIDGE Act - helping modernize century-old bridges in Chicagoland and across our country. Read more: congress.gov/bill/119th-con…

@aka60643 Thank you for reporting this matter to us, we will notify our RID team for handing.

Hey @Metra - I was on @metraRID run 511 this evening and lights and ventilation kept shutting off, then coming on again soon after. The same thing happened several times on run 610 this morning.

Don't stay silent! Your voice could save a life. Report signs of human trafficking to your conductor or Metra police.

@jerksofmetra We apologize for the crowded conditions observed. We will forward this to our UPW team for handling.

@Metra @metraUPW Here we are again. People standing in over crowded cars on a 8 car train with only 4 cars open. Upw UW35 1:40 from Ogilvie train. Does metra get bonus points for keep cars closed and cars over crowded? Is it really that difficult to open a car? Why?

@Cedarparkmom08 We apologize for the negative experience received, in an effort to further understand this matter, can you please provide more information through our contact us page? metra.com/contact-us

@Metra I think it’s sad that one of your conductors chose to profile me at 6am! Also the fact that the Access card isn’t offered in Cook County is also profiling

@Metra how u think of my train photo?

@Metra I really liked the rock island heritage I saw good job on the paint sceme!

@dstar1313 @metraMED @cbschicago @JBPritzker We apologize for any inconvenience caused and we thank you for reporting this matter to us. We will forward your observations to our MED team for handling, can you please provide for us with the train number you take in the morning?

@Metra PLEASE put more train cars back in the morning! 4 cars has everyone packed in like sardines for 3days now! Conductor couldn't believe it!- University Park station=death trap! Man fell on slimey ramp yesterday! #Metra #Chicago @metraMED @cbschicago #MaryAnnAhernNBC @JBPritzker

From dyeing the river green to hosting two of the nation’s biggest parades celebrating Irish heritage, Chicago celebrates St. Patrick’s Day like nowhere else in the world. Metra is your ticket to enjoying the festivities: metra.com/newsroom/celeb…

@WolfofNewYork Thank you for reporting this matter to us, we will forward this to Metra Police for handling. Please note you may report any suspicious activity to Metra Police at 312-322-2800 or through the Metra COPS app.

This guys lives IN the @Metra Norwood Park Station. When will Metra take riders safety seriously ???

@JamesMuchLesser When a delay occurs, either Metra or its freight partners work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible to get our riders to their destinations. You can read more here: metra.com/how-metra-hand…. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

I hate when @metra messes up the trains. Shouldn’t there be a plan for signal issues?

@JamesMuchLesser We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the delay. We strive every day to operate on time and we understand how delays can have negative impacts on our riders. However, delays can happen for a variety of reasons, some of which are even out of Metra's control.

@ikswortiop There are more items in the works and will be out in the near future.

@Metra dude why do you sell metra shower curtains but not posters. Get it together and sell me a cool map that’s not on a damn shower curtain

@butter1813 At this time our scheduling time is working on finalizing changes for St Patricks day weekend, and we will provide updates when they become available.

@Metra What the extra service is going to be for St. Patrick's Day River is dying and parades?

Metra announced today that it will conduct Operation Lifesaver Safety Blitzes at 41 train stations across the six-county region in 2026 as part of its ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the importance of safe behavior around its trains and tracks. metra.com/newsroom/metra…

@jerksofmetra Thank you for providing us with the additional information. We have taken note of the feedback and have forwarded it to our UPW team for handling.

@Metra 4:10 leaving Ogilvie. Really just annoying the Union Pacific Employees get a private car.

@Metra @metraUPW why is it the Friday trains are cut short of open cars? Train cars are full. But two entire cars closed. One of them currently being used for the conductor and Union Pacific employees to have a private empty car to drink and enjoy. It's total BS. Sick of this!

@jcyofrelief We apologize for the inconvenience caused, as cars may have been removed for servicing. Your feedback has been noted and will be forwarded to our MED team for handling.

@metraMED any time you want to reinstate the cars you removed from #706 a few weeks ago would be just fine and dandy with the dozens of passengers w/o a seat each morning @Metra

@aka60643 Thank you for reporting this matter to us, we will be sure to notify our RID mechanical team for handling.

Hey @metra - on @metraRID run 610 today, I found that the buttons to open doors on 1 side of the vestibule on car 8556 were not working. It took 2 of us to open the doors so we could get in.
