Please allow your Canadian neighbours to use our billing addresses.
U.S. billing addresses only
Canadian business traveller
Disappointed that only U.S. residents can create accounts and only credit cards with U.S. billing addresses can be used for payment in this version. Would definitely use when visiting Chicago if/when this changes.
Good enough app, some major flaws
Andrew Danauskas
It’s fine if you’re using the L but if you want to figure out what track your train is on at union station good luck. The signs there were also showing some message about how long metra has served Chicago, which is cool, but I really like knowing what track I’m supposed to be on without having to ask someone.
Cdn's can't use
A new nickname for the win
I altered the address to sign up bc CANADA is not an option. Can't enter Cdn billing address for cr card though. Probably a simple fix for app designer/creator
Our latest update fixes map loading, purchase errors, and related issues.
