Subways are the easiest way to get around
Transportation in Chicago is by far the most convenient and easiest to use in the U.S.!
Please visit: www.transitchicago.com for all transportation needs. You can find all information including fares, maps, schedules, and more for both the ‘L’ trains and CTA busses. Use the “Trip Planner” to easily map out your trip with estimated travel times.
Need a ride back to O’Hare Airport? See my physical printout for more info. Public transportation may be your cheapest option—otherwise, Uber/Lyft is always an option and can run from $20-$30.
See Divvy bike rentals for a fun way to travel the city.
