Some require that you hike a mountain of stairs. Jeesh. This one is accessible. It's a good point to be able to transfer between the red and blue lines of the CTA system. There are plenty of elevators. I just don't wanna think about what those puddles are in the elevators. There's a walkway that connects the two train lines, which could use more inspiration. Mexico City's subway has the Tunnel of Science where they try to teach you about scientific stuff with murals and such. Nothing like that here. At least they have some decorative tile "J" mosaics on the platforms. When I went, it wasn't so crowded.

We could have bought a day pass or commuter pass. We walked up the steps up to the track & saw when our train was coming then boarded. The station & our car reeked of urine & marijuana. Returning home after dark there was a police presence, we passed 6 officers & a ferocious muzzled police dog. The area around the station looked less threatening. The system is from 1892 & more manageable than NYC. There are 8 lines, each a different color, 142 stations, 1,480 cars & 102 miles of track. In 2024, the system had 127,463,400 rides, or about 422,200 on weekdays. It's the 3rd busiest subway in the country after the NYC & Washington DC.

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. Just head towards the stadium and walk across the bridge over to your game (Play Ball!). By the way, one way trips is $3 per person. $10 all day pass per person.

There's a Starbucks nearby too if you have time to grab something. Depending on when you go, there's usually plenty of parking. The platform does require going up a lot of stairs so be prepared for that little jog. There is an old elevator that you could use but I can't guarantee if it always works or isn't dirty. Platform signs and announcements are clear and easy to understand. And from there you just hop on your correct train, show the conductor your ticket and enjoy the ride!

I didn't use the station for transportation but I did check out the railroad park and found that the rail fan action to be super awesome and nonstop. The place is super welcoming for rail fans and accommodating with no employee hassles which was cool, because I get hassled a lot by rail employees. The whole area is a rail fans paradise with lots of public access to so much action which was just awesome for my visit. This is the station for rail fans that want non stop action that will not let you down, two thumbs up here.

We were headed to Chicago Music Exchange on N Lincoln. Our route was Cermak-McCormick to Clark/Lake, where we transferred to the Brown line for the Paulina train stop. The station gets crowded!

Chicago has a great public transportation train system.

This station on the Metra Electric line is a bit dated but it is still one of the better stations…read moreat this end of the line. It is usually clean and it's convenient to the Olympia Fields Post Office, Olympia Fields Country Club, as well as several subdivisions. If you're a member of the country club, there's access to the club directly from the station; you can park on the club grounds instead of the Metra lot. This stop is perfect if you're staying downtown and you want to attend one of the many golf functions at the club without the hassle of driving. The parking lot is a decent size and it has more than one entrance/exit which helps the flow of traffic. As of this writing, parking is $1.25 paid at old fashioned pay boxes where you have to fold a dollar three times over to squeeze out into the narrow slot. There are no monthly passes available for parking. There are no ticket machines at this location either so you'll need to buy your ticket on the train. Once this station is remodeled to include some of the amenities available at other stations it will be the jewel of the south suburbs.

I guess you can say I'm a Darling Yelpie. Well, it's superior to the Redline Corvette, when you take it, and it rivals bus156 as far as eye candy or comfort (156 stops more often, baby it's much too fast, and is much more crowded, but good for some- def when one goes to Oldtown or Lincoln Park or Lincoln Park Zoo-loveeee them). I've met/struck up connections/been hit on with people on the 135 route. And at least the last few were normal/hawt. I take it weekdays, since it is faster and less stinky than the Red Line. Anyhow. . . try it; at least you have friends. No more Prince references, unless you have a Charlie Murphy story for me. Then you pwn me even more than my dumdum public trans review.
