CHICAGO (AP) -- Children 11 and younger may ride on Metra for free from December 24 through January 4.
The Chicago-area transit agency announced that the popular weekend "Family Fares" program is being expanded to weekdays this year.
Up to three kids accompanied by an adult may ride for free during the period.
