O'Hare — Attraction in Jefferson Township

This is a very nice subway station - clean, spacious and modern. For $5 you can get from the airport to downtown Chicago in about 40 minutes.

CTA service got really bad during the pandemic, but has been gradually getting better over the past year. Trains leave every 10 minutes approximately. It's generally safe but there are occasionally homeless people or smokers on the train. It runs 24 hours but I probably wouldn't take the train after midnight.

June 30. 2022 it took me an hour and half to get home, and that's with my husband picking me up at the train. The Forest Park train was very delayed due to some criminal activity, I only found out because I had to go back to the station to speak to a live CTA employee from the Washington underground platform. The announcements made overt PA system were inaudible, the station was very hot. In these pandemic circumstances with the crowd of people on the platform, it was very dangerous. I was lucky that I could take the Green line home and have my husband pick me up at the nearest train stop line. The Chicago Transit Authority does not care for their passengers. They are not dependable. They don't own up to their mistakes. It is...
