CHICAGO — The CTA is offering free rides after games during this week's Crosstown Classic.

On Monday and Tuesday, when the Cubs and Sox face off at Wrigley Field, riders will be able to take the Red Line from the Addison stop for free up to three hours after the games, according to a CTA news release.

The No. 80 Irving Park and No. 152 Addison buses will also have extra service for two hours before the games and an hour after they end, the CTA said.

On Wednesday and Thursday, when the teams head to Guaranteed Rate Field, there will be free Red Line rides at Sox-35th stop for two hours after the games, the CTA said.

On those dates, there will be extra Red Line service and extra Yellow Line service from Howard until midnight, the CTA said.

The CTA is also advising those heading out for the games to buy unlimited-ride passes in advance and to plan for trips to take longer than usual. Passes can be bought online or at stations.

Uber will also allow users to get one free trip worth up to $10 from the ballpark or nearby spots. Users can enter the promo code MLCROSSTOWN 3-8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday or 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday.
