Long platform warning! So know your stop and know your Metra Electric schedule!…read moreIf you are visiting the Museum of Science and Industry or University of Chicago, this is your stop. Some trains stop at 51st/53rd which is technically Hyde Park stop or exit the 55th end of platform. 59th is technically University of Chicago and usually only "South Chicago " trains stop there. So, exit and walk toward the 57th street end. We walk everywhere in Hyde Park, you just need to know where you are going...and where the train stops.

This very convenient Red Line stop…read more There is a Jewel, Burlington Coat Factory, Harold's Chicken, Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, Food 4 Less, Dollar Tree, and Pier 1 west of this station. If you live in Evergreen Park, Hometown or Oak Lawn off 87th / Cicero, you can take CTA 87th bus. This bus will go through Evergreen Park. 87th Red Line is always open and Red Line runs 24 hours.

Very convenient public transit. You can take it from the O'Hare airport to the Loop, for $5. For…read moreeverything else, $2.25. You can even just tap your phone these days, instead of buying a special transit card. The train isn't the dirtiest, isn't the cleanest, compared to other cities' public transit, but I thought it was fine. Didn't smell any urine as other Yelpers had described lol. It was efficient, easy to take, and took me where we needed to go! Not bad!!

The air conditioning was broken and it was packed. The train stopped randomly and I was afraid I…read morewas gonna get heat stroke. Like God it was 1200 degrees in there.

For the most of it CTA Halsted is a ghost town during the morning hours, and afternoon. Not sure…read morewhat it's like in the evening, or at night, and I don't really care to find out. I only get off at this stop, because I take classes at Kennedy King College, which sits right outside of this stop. Looking at this stop, I can tell that it has been re-constructed, because it's very clean compared to the outside, and entrance of it. Kudos for that, but lets see if it's maintained. During the morning, and afternoon hours it's safe, from what I've seen! But don't get too comfortable! Outside of this stop, there is a Divvy bike share, if you choose to ride to this location or need a share bike. I'm not to familiar with what stores they have in the area, but I do know there is a Wholefoods, Walgreens, and Post Office within a 400 meter range of this stop. Enjoy, and have a safe trip if you get off, or on at this stop.

The Station Itself is nice. However it's in a bad neighborhood with a lot of homeless people.read more

It's awful, just plain awful!!! I personally hate the CTA Red line by itself. But man, this station…read moreis just like 63rd, it's in the heart of the ghetto, like, Englewood, or Chatham. The smell is foul, the area is not safe to be around, you got some rude people coming in there every now in then. Also, the bus stop is one of the worst things about the station, and I thought Garfield's bus stop was the most horrible. (it still is) But, 79th tops all Red line bus stops in total of 33 stops when it comes to being the worst.

These people are terrible. They run their business out of the neighborhood I live in and one of…read morethem just cursed me out, in front of my child, because they attempted to sideswipe me in the middle of a snowstorm. They're always pulling unsafe maneuvers, such as not pulling over to the curb when stopping, driving too fast and failing to use turn signals. If their company is all about safely transporting children, they fail at their main mission miserably. Do yourselves a favor and find a transportation company that isn't dangerous and disrespectful. They're a scourge in the Chatham community. If I could give them negative stars, I would.
