It's one of the more no-frills suburban Metra stations along the line, with no agents, small…read morebathrooms, a water fountain, and vending machines for tickets. There's a modest indoor waiting area that stays warm on the inbound platform (north side of the tracks on Crescent Blvd.), and covered outdoor waiting areas on both sides of the tracks. It's also accessible from the Illinois Prairie bike & pedestrian path, with a bicycle repair station nearby in the public park (Prairie Path Park) to the south. There's plenty of parking up and down the line, and there's a Pace bus stop for the 715 north and south busses. This station features a pedestrian tunnel under the tracks, so you can cross over even with trains approaching. There's an automated PA system and LED sign boards indicating arrival times for trains, and delays. Sadly, the Union Pacific West (UP-W) line is one of the lines more-prone to delays during peak hours (at least compared to other lines I've ridden) due to the never-ending Third Main Line project, some track work near Geneva, or on the eastbound past Oak Park (I don't know if it's track work or regular congestion). In fairness, it seems like every Metra line is getting bogged down the closer you get to the city. Metra staff or contractors seems to clean up fairly regularly, as I rarely see much garbage or dirt in / around the station. Garbage cans seem to be empties regularly enough, that they never seem overfilled. There is plenty of lighting around the station and parking lots, there are a few cameras around the station, and it seems like the area is patrolled by local police frequently enough. You're walking distance to the Main Street shopping area, so there's lots to do in the area between departures. If I'm in the area, I'm not really here for the station, but the station does its job well enough and is a fine gateway to/from the Glen Ellyn Main Street shopping area.

The biggest downside is that the interior is only open for very short hours, so make sure to bring cash. You're most likely going to have to pay on the train. In the colder months, you won't be able to hide inside for shelter and you'll have to tough it out on the platform. Parking is also a little hard to find because everything around has time maximums. I recommend getting here a few minutes early if it's your first time at this station so you don't miss your train.

Nice station, less busy than the Wheaton station and has plenty of parking. The tunnel under the…read moretracks makes having to worry about catching your train far less stressful. There is plenty of seating and it's nice to have so much covered space while your waiting in the rain for the train. Shout out to the super nice guy running the coffee/snack shop who let my husband and I have our coffee only after we realized we had no cash (SO embarrassing)! We'll be paying you back tomorrow sir! He has a great selection of coffee, milk and syrups for your $1.50 medium coffee.

Possibly the best station due to the parking and the walkways…read more The good... the station is recently renovated (a few years ago), so there's a decent interior, clean bathrooms, coffee, vending machines, etc... From the exterior, there's a pay by day lot right next to the station (north side) and a permit lot and meters just south of the station. There are both pedestrian walkways above and below ground. This makes access easy and convenient. The bad... not as many covered vestibules along the walk way as some stations, but still pretty good all considered.

Then, as he passes me, starts threatening me and using hand gestures, both hands off the wheel as he was swerving all over the road. Not sure what I did other than drive responsibly. More than I can say for Cab #465 license 37 014. Older gentleman with gray/white hair and facial hair. If you see this cab company in your rear view mirror, best to get out of the way or they'll run you off the road. Needless to say, I will not ever call this company for livery service. They don't belong on the road.

We used ECHO to move our party of 9 from O'Hare to Milwaukee, and a few days later from Milwaukee…read moreback into Mid town Chicago. We had booked the big Transit vans because we had a mountain of luggage. The service was impeccable. On time both times, the driver was polite & helpful and vans were spotless. During our trip I had to make some changes to pick up times which were made without any issue. ECHO is by far the best service I have ever used, I cannot say enough good things about them. You are the best.

When I called today 1/30/21 he told me the weird driver said I never paid her and couldn't get a taxi until I paid the weird driver. When I told him I paid her in CASH on 1/14, he didn't believe me.

This has always been my airport of choice when given an option of airline hubs for multi-leg…read moreflights. It has also been my choice for international departures when possible, specifically Hong Kong. The size of the airport is easy to navigate and less than an hour flight from my smaller local airport, which usually makes it an affordable option in comparison to Atlanta and New York. During my most recent trips, the airport terminals visited were usually Terminal 1 and 2. All of the elevators, escalators, and moving sidewalks were fully functional. I wish there were more food options during the longer layovers, but it wasn't a dealbreaker.

This airport is big. Big and overwhelming. But my wife enjoyed it. She found it exciting. I found…read moreit still stuck in the 90s, à la "Home Alone." But I digress. The good thing about O'Hare is that it is a major hub for flights, both domestic and international, since it sits in the middle of the country. Of course, getting to downtown Chicago or coming from there can be a challenge, depending on when you're traveling. The Chicago Thruway traffic can be a fright, where you will be on the road for anywhere from 50 minutes to 90 minutes. Coming from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, direct flights to Chicago are plentiful, so getting there is a breeze unless there's a blizzard or some other disastrous weather pattern that may lead to permanent doom. Fortunately, that wasn't the case on our flight earlier this month. Now, reaching the baggage claim can be a bit of a walk, and even more so if you don't know where to find the area to pick up your ride share. That can be incredibly confusing, since it's on the Departures level, not the Arrivals level. The food vendors are not that great if you are gluten-free, like my wife is. For me, I found a spot with Chicago dogs and deep dish, which I enjoyed one more time before boarding our flight back to Fort Lauderdale. For as large and important as O'Hare is as a hub, the terminals and gate seating areas are at least 20 years out of date. But it still works as a major airport, with flights going in and out at all hours of the day.

The driver said it is a private cab. We then asked how much will it cost to go from Aurora to Geneva's train station (literally a 10 min drive). Driver says $25.00. Outrageous. To make matters worse, he said he thought we were going to the airport because that what was said on the phone when the request for the cab was made. This was a lie as he never asked me where I was going. He said it would be either $25 or $45 since he missed a potential pickup at the airport as we weren't going there. Tried to call it even with us at $21.00. I gave him a $20 as I didn't have any smaller bills. I would've given $15.00 if I had a 10 and a 5. Will never call this unprofessional business again.

Anyway, my son was going to Washington D.C. and he had a very early flight (5:30 a.m.). I called several places that were much more expensive. Yes, it is a VERY small operation, but, for us, it was a very good experience. We called the day before and left a message, to which, they called us right back to make the reservation. Yes, because they are small they didn't give us a confirmation number. I was told our call was the confirmation. That made me a little concerned. However, everything went very smoothly. Our pick up time was 3:15 a.m. and the driver got there 15 minutes early. I paid in advance. It was a very good rate and I received an e-receipt quickly. My son had a very good experience. From what I was told, it was a smooth ride and the driver, who was also the owner was very personable and friendly. So, for us, everything worked out very well. Maybe in the past year (the other review was 1/9/14), they have worked the kinks out of their business and have a better service now. All I know is they were fine for us.
