Chicago
Transport - Getting around Chicago
Chicago has the largest public
transportation system in the country and getting around the city is
fast, easy and inexpensive, with an extensive network of rapid
transit trains and buses. The train system has both underground
lines and elevated tracks above the city, and is known as the El;
most visitors only use the El, but buses also cover every part of
the city including the suburbs, albeit less regularly. Most train
lines run 24 hours a day with Overnight or Night Owl services
taking over after midnight until 5am, but only on some lines. The
Metra commuter trains link the city to the outer suburbs, including
Lake Michigan, Hyde Park and McCormick Place. Fares for the bus,
subway and the El are standard and a variety of visitor passes are
available offering more economical travel. During the summer months
a Free Trolley system operates in the downtown area, connecting
Chicago's top cultural attractions, shopping areas and visitor
destinations. Taxis are easy to find and the metered rates are
reasonable for short journeys. Although traffic is not as bad as in
other major cities (outside rush hour), parking is expensive and
difficult to find.
