Is soliciting allowed on buses or trains?

Soliciting is prohibited on buses and trains as part of the Chicago Transit Authority's (CTA) policies to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all passengers. This rule helps to minimize disruptions and maintain a level of public order during transit. It is important for passengers to feel secure without the presence of individuals soliciting money or goods, which can make travel uncomfortable for many riders.

While there may be situations where organized charity events receive special permission to solicit under specific circumstances, the general rule is that any form of solicitation is not allowed without prior authorization from the CTA. This policy is in place to uphold a standard that prioritizes passenger comfort and safety on public transportation.
