Generally, the…read moresouth side is neglected by the city, but since the Pullman stop here is across from Pullman National Monument, they'll be sure to keep it up. It's a small Metra station that serves the Metra Electric line, which means it's one of those few that goes to Millennium Station, not Ogilvie or Union. The 111th Street Station is located in Zone C for Metra fare purposes. It's one of the least busy in the entire Metra system--apparently there are fewer than 50 people boarding here on average each day. Given its infrequent use, there aren't any services here; you won't find an agent, but on the other hand that means that if you have to buy your ticket on the train you won't pay a surcharge for buying it from the conductor. Parking isn't available for this station but there are CTA bus connections. Most unfortunately, this station is not at all accessible. There's 30+ steps to the platform, but you won't find an elevator here, I'm afraid, so if you need one you'd be better served by finding another station to use.

CTA has an L station on 35th Street on the South Side, which is where to get off for a ballgame…read more It's the closest one to Guaranteed Rate Field. When there's a White Sox game this station is jam packed. As for the flip side, if there's not a game it's pretty quiet around here. There's also other ways to get to the stadium, but this is the most convenient and fastest usually. Among the things going on around here, there's nothing that tops a White Sox game. It serves the Red Line. The station is located in the middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway, so it's noisy. A benefit from being outdoors is the fresh air. There's not a bad smell. It's a pretty long station, stretching between 33rd and 35th so you have to give yourself plenty of time to get in and out. This is a much better way of getting to a game instead of using gas and paying outrageous parking prices, so you have more money for outrageous concession prices. Getting to the White Sox games is convenient from here. It's among a few public transportation options, along with the L station on the Green Line, and Metra. These plentiful choices means it's usually not a long wait for trains.

If you hop on the Chicago Transit, you can get there faster and cheaper (why pay $20+ for parking and get caught in traffic?). Just exit the Sox 35th exit and you will be there in no time.

Also, this Western Orange Line Station is a stop for the #48 CTA Bus (S. Damen Avenue) and #94 CTA Bus (S. California Avenue).

Of course it's not in a terrific location, but it's mostly clean and safe. Lots of busses to get onto from here. There's a large area for shelter while waiting for one. A better than expected location, and it's usually pretty fast coming or going. It serves the Orange Line. The station is located in Gage Park. Even though it has a bad history, it's still an improving area. This is at 49th and Western. Best about this is how fast it is to get through here. This is the one that goes all the way to Midway, the other Chicago airport that gets unappreciated. Getting there is a lot faster. Stops like this are one of the reasons. It has fewer, meaning the trains come a lot more often. This station is pretty clean for as busy as it gets, and it doesn't have a bad smell. Getting to Midway is convenient from here. It's only a few stops away, and if you're getting off here there's lots of busses to take you places. There's usually not a long wait for trains.

For the end of a major line in Chicago, this station meets those goals. No bathroom but that is…read moreexpected since every CTA station is restroom less. There is a store inside the building that has food that's kinda overpriced. Bring cash if your total is under $1 because they charge a dollar with card. The elevator isn't what people say it is. It's fairly large and serves its purpose. There are 2 benches in the building and a few more outside, however, the benches inside are past the turnstiles, which means you can't use them unless you pay. There is also multiple Pace Bus Routes, like the 301 that takes you from Forest Park to Wheaton Metra, or 303 which takes you to Rosemont. Very good station

The last time I used the lot and returned around midnight, the parking lot lights were ALL turned OFF. Was scary spooky. Also some sketchy characters hanging around the station. Be advised that there are actually two lots: One is CTA, I think run by a contractor. The other is owned by the town of Forest Park - which does not respond to email inquiries. There are much better run, more accommodating, safer CTA stations with parking which I have experienced, but for those in the area, you're stuck. ps: The Yelp form just asked about "Gender Neutral Restrooms" - there are NO restrooms of any kind at ANY CTA stations!

I had the unpleasant opportunity of almost doing business with this company. I originally completed…read morea quote with the company online as I was scouting around for best service and prices. Around 3 days after reviewing companies I decided to select Chicago Lincoln Limo. Out of my normal desire to confirm travel info the night before I called to confirm my pick-up. To my surprise the representative on the phone informed me after much searching that he was unable to find my reservation. I told the representative the day I called to book the limo over the phone the woman I spoke to was having trouble with the website. Not to mention I tried the website several times and was unable to book online. The woman I spoke to reaffirmed me that I would be able to book over the phone with her even if the website was down and service would be guaranteed. I gave her my credit card number, expiration date, 3 digit code etc and she confirmed my reservation and assured me a driver would arrive as planned. Imagine my shock the night before my departure, when I called to confirm and the company was unable to find my reservation. I wasted 23 minutes on the phone with them. The company did not offer to compensate me for losing my reservation so I asked the representative if he could ask the owner for compensation for the inconvenience. The representative placed me on hold and returned from contacting the owner to notify me they wouldn't be able to compensate me on the current ride, but upon the next booking I would receive a discount. I asked the representative why I would have to wait until the next ride when this current ride is the one that was botched. The representative stated that it "looks" like I made the reservation online and didn't follow through. I replied so your owner thinks I'm lying about speaking to one of his representatives that failed to complete my reservation therefore you are unable to compensate this current ride, wow really?! As far as I know you only get one shot to impress your customer. Indirectly, implying that I would not be compensated for the inconvenience because they do not believe it was their error, on top of the fact they lost my reservation in the first place I decided clearly this company is not in need of customers or they would not treat them so callously.
