Chicago Transit Travel Reviews

Jan 26, 2008
Particularly useful if you're going from O'Hare airport to downtown Chicago. There's a train that takes you straight out of the airport and into the loop, where you can basically catch another train anywhere. You don't even have to go onto the street, there's a covered hallway that leads you straight to the CTA. A ride on the train costs $2.00 and I think transfers are free.

There are machines at every station that vend the CTA cards.

Ah! I did not know that! They look kind of similar distances from downtown Chicago, but you're probably right - it took me almost 45 min to get into the loop from O'Hare - what a nightmare with luggage!

Whenever I need to be downtown Chicago I like to fly into Midway rather than O'Hare...much closer and you can snag the El right there.

I HIGHLY recommend getting a visitor pass for the transit system in Chicago. My 5 day pass only cost $18. You can pick one up at the airport, or you can order it online and have it delivered to you before your trip. You get unlimited riding on CTA buses and trains for the duration of the pass.

Wild Hare
vances says: This tip depends on your preferences for music and wild night life, but I always made it a point to stop by the "Wild Hare", a brilliant reggae venue only a few blocks from Wrigley. There is only a reasonable cover charge and they often have top-shelf reggae acts (like Ziggy Marley and Pato Bant...

Riding in Chicago – buy the CTA Visitor’s Pass
o_dog says: Chicago Transit Authority. I highly recommend first timers to purchase the CTA Visitor’s Pass depending on the number of days you spend in Chicago. The Pass saves you some $$ and you can use it for both subway trains and buses. Parking fee is ridiculous, like any other major cities. Using the pu...

Wrigleyville
RunaroundSue says: You should definitely hang out in Wrigleyville before and after the game. There are TONS of bars all around the stadium so it's easy to walk around and see what type of place looks like your scene. Most of them are on Clark st just south and north of Addison. The most popular places for people to...
