Built for Chicago CTA train travel
In Chicago, the local fare system is CTA Ventra. For train trips, CTA single ride is $2.50, the 1-Day Pass is $5, and the 7-Day Pass is $20. Ventra covers CTA trains, CTA buses, plus Pace and Metra, and CTA trains use a flat fare with no tap-out required. Two transfers within 2 hours are included on pay-per-ride.
Ready at the station, even without signal
BuzzMe automatically pins the pass you need to the top of your vault as you approach a station or gate, so it is ready before you reach the reader. If the platform has no signal, your pass and its scannable code still display offline, and the full-brightness QR or barcode is shown for a clean scan at the turnstile.
Private vault access on Samsung Galaxy
BuzzMe installs straight to your home screen as an app on Samsung Galaxy, with no app store and no separate wallet required. Your train ticket lives in an encrypted vault, accessible only to you, and the live identity watermark helps deter screenshots and reuse. You can also buy transit tickets securely in-app through ChowBanQ with a tokenized card, so your card number never touches BuzzMe.
