Commuting between University of Chicago to downtown? |
Travel Info I would like to know the options of commuting from International house at university of Chicago to downtown. I have gathered that buses (CTA??) run from there through the lake shore drive and take about 30 min to reach downtown. I would like to know the frequency of buses and if there are any other options. And whether I can get a bus to go back from downtown to international house late in the evening? How much would a taxi cost? Is it a safe route? Will there be enough people around in June? Thanks in advance... Travel Tips Hi, I work at the University & I catch the Metra. You could get on at 59th or 57th (depending on the time); they run about every hour. It would cost you $2.15. Check this link http://metrarail.com/sched/me/me_msi.sht... The metra is a lot nicer than the bus to me. Source(s): www.metrarail.com Other Travel Tips http://chicagotransitauthority.com/... This site will help you with all your travel planning. Use the trip planner option and type in the addresses. You may also call 888-YOUR-CTA to get travel info. Public transportation in usually good in Chicago. If you have the option to take the train (the 'el') do so. It's fast and runs frequently. Call the University. The University has a free shuttle bus that runs from UC to downtown. I'm not sure of the schedule/stops but I work downtown and see it almost every day. Someone in my office said the shuttle was for University employees not students. I second the person who recommended the Metra; it is MUCH nicer than the bus but does not run as often....check it out. |
