A new CTA train and bus decked out in Chicago Cubs World Series décor debuted Monday.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and CTA president Dorval R. Carter, Jr. announced the release of the train and bus to continue the celebration of the Cubs throughout the city.
The CTA wrapped four rail cars and a CTA bus with designs featuring the famous blue "W" and Cubs logos to celebrate the first Cubs World Series victory since 1908.
The wrapped train car will be put into service on the Red Line, which includes the Addison station near Wrigley Field, beginning Monday for one week. The bus will also run for a week on the #152 Addison route.
“With this Chicago Cubs World Series Championship, Chicago has made history once again,” said Emanuel. “We want to further showcase our city by celebrating with our residents and giving CTA riders the chance to continue savoring the victory.”
“We want to continue the celebration in Chicago with our customers by offering a special train and bus that commemorates the Cubs World Series victory, especially on the train and bus routes that carries millions to Wrigley Field during this unforgettable season,” said Carter.
The CTA offered a similar commemoration for the Chicago White Sox 2005 World Series win.

Last month, the CTA put a Cubs-themed bus into service after the team's NLCS victory.
