    Whenever I visit Chicago, I almost always stay at a hotel in the Loop and this is the CTA Station that I've used the most to catch a train. You can catch a ride on many lines here: Orange, Green, Purple, Pink, and Brown. I normally take the Orange line to get to Midway Airport and the Green line to go to the McCormick Place convention center. This station is one of the older looking stations along the L train system. They have plenty of signs at this station to help direct anyone to wherever they need to go.

    CTA has a stop on the Loop at Adams and Wabash and there's a whole lot going through as far as trains and colors. It has five different Lines going through so it can get confusing and crazy finding where to go. Of course it gets even busier at rush hour for sure. Lots of good things to check out including restaurants and attractions. There's other stations where you can make transfers. It can be found on the southeast side of the Loop and there's plenty of trains to choose from. It serves the Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines. The times each of these operates varies. Brown goes counterclockwise. The Green goes both ways. It's the only one to do so on the Loop. The others go clockwise so you have to be on the correct side of the platform. For the Brown, stand on the east. The others are on the west. Of course it can be super confusing. The good thing is there's plenty of stops and trains to get off if you make a mistake. Also know the Purple is a limited extension. It's only on weekdays at rush hour. There's lots of other stations close by so it's easy making transfers.

    Track for Orange, Green, Purple, Pink and Brown Lines. If you find yourself on the wring aide of the track, there is a bridge that goes above the travk and station.

The train takes you to the museums stop, Hyde Park, the south burbs, and the University of Chicago. It's the cheapest and most convenient way to visit the city.

Riding south they pass my stop without any announcement. The conducter says its the Engineers fault with NO compassion or recourse just Mitchy Attitude. I said bacl the MF up! He said can't do that.

    Last week was my first time taking a train into the city while visiting Great Lakes. I was…read moretraveling alone and a little nervous about getting into the city and unsure about the area that the Ogilvie Transportation Center is in. Reviews made it seem like a confusing place to navigate. I boarded the Union Pacific North Train Kine from Great Lakes just outside of the Navy Training Center. I purchased my ticket on the Ventra App and I boarded the train and took a seat. There were several stops along the way and the Ogilvie Transportation Center was the last stop. The Conductor visited the car I was riding in just a couple of stops before ending at Ogilvie to check and/or sell tickets. The Conductor was polite and patient. When I exited the train at Ogilvie, I just followed the crowd to the stairway into the station and then just chose to exit the building at the Canal Street exit whit turned out to be just perfect for starting my journey into Chicago for the day. At the end of the day, when I returned to Ogilvie, it took me a few minutes to figure out the train schedule and locate the right stairways onto the loading platform. They have large screens at each loading platform stairway entrance that shows where each train travels to and what time they leave. There are stairways on each side of the train station to get you to the train. One important thing to note is that for some stops, the first cars of the train, the doors do not open. So it's best to find a seat towards the back cars or make plans to walk through a couple of cars quickly to get to the exit doors that open. The Ogilvie Transportation Center was easier to navigate than I had thought.

    Why oh why does the sign on the Madison St entrance of this building say "Accenture Tower" when…read moreit's really just the retail front of Ogilvie Transportation Center?! That confused me so much the first time I came here that I went across the street to Union Station by mistake thinking I had gone to the wrong place, and I missed my train. Please make better signage indicating that this entrance is also for the train station, as Google maps is getting less and less accurate (it put the marker in the middle of the intersection between the two stations). Other than that, the station is fine. Plenty of ticket machines and display screens showing the train schedules. There are escalators up to the track area for disability access as an option besides stairs. Just expect a huge line for the bathrooms. The retail shops and food items are price gouging to the extreme, like an airport would be.

    You know what's really fantastic? Intelligent design! For example, this station's stairwells have…read morelittle ramps on the sides to make it easier to bring a bicycle into the station, without having to carry it awkwardly - bonus for those who have heavier bikes, or less upper body strength. However, if instead of a bike you're carrying a cartful of groceries, or need to avoid stairs for any other reason, the station is fully accessible with elevators. There's a lot more to love: The station is very easy to navigate, with large, abundantly clear signage to help you find the right train direction. Bonus points for whoever thought to put the departure screens just outside the stairwells to platform level, with only departures in that direction. It is also aesthetically very pleasing, across the board. The ceilings are high, and feature tiled mosaics. There is also a large silhouette of the skyline behind glass tiles. Even the floor of the main level contains a simple, yet thought-out design: rays before the gates and a compass rose after. All throughout, the station is well lit and clean. The platform level is more utilitarian, but still maintains the themes of being well lit, relatively clean, and having some tiled designs on the back wall. Final verdict: CTA stations are usually small, narrow, and in need of a power wash and elbow grease, if not also a lighting upgrade. CTA's Grand Red Line Station needs none of the above, and is one of my favorite stations in the system!
