Supposed to arrive at 10:45 AM, arrived at 10:56 AM. As mentioned, I didn't get on that bus (Thankfully!) and got on the train (Which I've been doing since February 20). I believe the train is way better than this particular pace bus. They never show up on time and it needs to end. Sometimes they get to their destinations 20 minutes after they were originally scheduled. They are so Negligent.

A relative, who is wheelchair bound, wanted to attend my sons graduation and to the dinner that followed, which was no small feat. After calling several companies, I found Suzy's Shuttle Service. I asked if they could accomodate me since it would be an all day affair. They explained that they transport anywhere, not just for medical reasons, so I was thrilled. Not only were they professional and courteous, they charged a fair rate. I can't express how pleased my family was that we found this company.

This small, unknown Metra station (the bigger neighboring ones are the Jefferson Park and Norwood…read morePark stations) is tucked at the end of Austin Blvd, south of Northwest Highway, behind a factory building. It does make you wonder how Metra finds these little spots to make a station out of. Hmm, I guess I need a history lesson. Anyways, this station is rather unused; the last morning train is at 8:30AM which is rather "early" if you consider that the Metra trains stop at Norwood and Jefferson Park stations all the way until the afternoon. Pro tip: If you decide to go to happy hour and think you can get back on Gladstone Park, you best just plan ahead and park your car either of the aforementioned stations, because the last time the Metra trains stop at Gladstone Park is 9:30PM. Speaking of parking, there are about 6 street parking spots right next to the station. The close stretch on Northwest Highway is 2-hour parking only, and the rest you have to feed the parking meter. Your best bet is parking on Austin Blvd north of Northwest Highway, or the adjacent side streets parallel to Austin, such as Mason Ave. During the winter time, the station is hit-or-miss in terms of snow removal. The little "shelter" area is quite abandoned and unkept; where there were windows in the shelter, there are no more, so you just have 2 gaping holes leaving you freezing to death as the wind blows and howls at you. Overall, not one of the better Metra stations I have toured, but it serves its purpose for the neighboring commuter folks

There are two entrances upstairs on both sides of Montrose Ave. For amenities, it has a bike rack and a Pepsi machine. A bench or maybe two, and is rather narrow (though I find that often with CTA stations). There are up escalators only, no elevators. There are transfers to busses and Metra nearby. The only real complaint I have is regarding noise. With the highway on both sides, the loudness is unpleasant. With all this, Montrose gets the job done. It's by no means a 'destination' but is easy to navigate and not unpleasant (except for being in the middle of the Kennedy Expressway).

There is also an indoor shelter large enough to fit about 50 people - perfect for those below zero Chicago winters. A ticket window is also available inside the shelter. The shelter looks a little 1980s ish and can use some remodeling, but it'll do. There are also seats available inside. Also, there is a cute little bookshelf filled with some books to read, courtesy of the Morton Grove library. Such a cute idea! Lastly, the platforms are spacious enough where people who are waiting for the train can spread out and not feel all cramped. I like this a lot because small platforms can feel a little freaky at times, especially when those speedy express trains zip right by!
