Got a layover in Chicago and or would like to know how to get to Downtown Chicago from the airport? I share how I did that. Taking the CTA Blue line to get to Downtown Chicago. Took about an hour to get there. Watch along if you would like! To support the channel, like, comment and subscribe!

This has been a great help. I’m coming to Chicago in April and now I know how to get to my destination.

If that gum could talk, it would beg for mercy! LOL! CTA is accessible from inside the airport without having to go through the parking garage. From the Baggage Claim area, take the escalator to the lower level and follow the signs to trains to the city/Blue Line. The ‘L’ and ‘train’ are synonymous. ‘L’ refers to elevated since some parts of the ride are elevated above the street. The Blue line which is the only line that runs to/from O’Hare, goes through the subway in the downtown area.

Gotta give it to O'Hare for putting signs on everything every step of the way. This city really does its best to make sure people don't get lost. Even so, it helped to see that I'm not the only one that gets scared and feels a little lost even with all the signs in the airport. This helped a lot. And may I also say, I admire sólo females who just throw themselves into unknown situations and just figure it out. I'm the type that studies the entire map of everywhere I'm supposed to go. You're brave!!

The police are not allowed unless reasoning to tell you to stop recording, the CTA allows you to record because of their policy. You are allowed to record anytime in the Chicago Transit Authority system.

I just remember in another state at the subway, they stopped me and held me for questioning. Didn't want a repeat.

The CTA/Blue Line is not a subway. After you get out of O'Hare the train goes up to the surface. Some stops are underground like the O'Hare one.

Hola. ¿El tren Ventra CTA hasta la ciudad solo se puede coger en la terminal 1 o en el resto también? Saludos.

Do you think if I got into Chicago at 12 and had to fly out at 6 that 5 hours in between would be enough to go into downtown eat something and go back via train? Let me know!

@ADayintheLifeofRia Жыл бұрын

Yes, it took me about an hour or more to get there because it was my first time trying to figure it out. You should have enough time. 🙂Safe travels!

Hi! How long is the ride from O’Hare to Michigan Ave in downtown? Is it relatively safe?

@ADayintheLifeofRia Жыл бұрын

It felt safe, but it might've been about over an hour. Don't remember exactly where I get off.

@KamJ2010 10 ай бұрын

Ok....here is the deal. You can't go to Michigan Ave from O'Hare. Dearborn, yes. Then you have to walk a few blocks East to Michigan. But on a good day...little less than an hour. Is it safe....Oh yes very. The Blue line from O'Hare into the loop is cool. Blue line to Forest Park on the other hand.... 🙂
