I am flying in to Chicago O'Hare Airport, and need to take the train to Miller Indiana! Specifics Please? |
Travel Info Okay so I am flying into Chicago O'Hare Airport. I need to take the train system to Miller Indiana. I am not sure what trains to catch where. I am flying internationally so I know I go to Terminal 3 to catch the ATS (blu line), but I am not sure where to get off to catch the South Shore Line, and not sure if the South Shore Line Station is close to the blu line station. Any help woud be greatly appreciated! Travel Tips I usually take the Coach USA bus home to Indiana but here are two links that should help you. I've read the answer below and honestly, the bus would be more relaxing, less confusing. The bus goes to Highland, Portage and South Bend too. Source(s): http://www.nictd.com/service/stations.ht... http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/syste... Other Travel Tips This isn鈥檛 as complicated as you would imagine. From O鈥橦are, take the CTA Blue line train into downtown. Since O鈥橦are is the last stop of the Blue line, all trains will be going this way. Get off of the Blue line at the Clark/Lake station and transfer to the Brown line. Transfers are free. Now, take the Brown line train that says 鈥淟OOP鈥?on the outside of the train. The ones headed north are going to Kimball; you don鈥檛 want to go that way. Get on the train and get off on the Randolph/Wabash stop, which should be the second stop. (NOTE: This is the only part of my directions which I have any doubts about. At the Clark/Lake Brown line station, the Brown line branches out to the North and you might not be able to get on a train going the way you need to go. If this is the case, take a Brown Line train labeled 鈥淜imball鈥?and get off at the Merchandise Mart (which will be the next stop). Then get to the other side of the platform and wait for a train to take you back into the Loop. It鈥檚 tedious and there are other ways to get to where you need to go, but the Brown line is the best bet to get you closest to the trains to Indiana. At the Randolph/Wabash station, get off and walk East on Randolph for about 2 blocks. If you don鈥檛 know which way East is, it鈥檚 towards the lake. Just ask somebody to point you towards Millennium Park. Right around the corner of Randolph and Michigan, you鈥檒l see a building called The Chicago Cultural Center and an entrance into the subway. Go down into the subway. The station is called 鈥淢illennium Station,鈥?but it might not be labeled as such. This is probably the hardest part. It鈥檚 rather maze-like down there and things are poorly labeled. Follow the signs that say NICTD or just ask people which way to the South Shore trains. Once you find the South Shore, buy a ticket at the window if they鈥檙e open (it鈥檚 cheaper at the window than on the train). Tell them you鈥檙e going to Miller. Now, board the train and you鈥檒l be in Miller about 50 minutes after it leaves. Also, be aware that South Shore Trains don鈥檛 run constantly like the CTA trains. To see a schedule, go to http://www.nictd.com/ and input Millennium Park as where you鈥檙e Departing from and Miller as your destination. So to recap in the simplest directions鈥?br /> Blue line to Clark/Lake Transfer to Brown line Brown Line to Randolph/Wabash Walk East on Randolph Street. Enter subway at Randolph & Michigan & find South Shore Take South Shore to Miller. |
