The Allstate CTA Holiday Fleet begins its voyage for the 2022 season Friday, with plans to chug across the city while glistening with numerous lights and LED signs. Santa and his reindeer are expected to keep commuters company for the ride, too.

All eight CTA rail lines and 16 of CTA's bus routes will be served by the celebratory fleet.
