Also right next to a ton of freeway interchanges so it's a nice meeting point for ride shares etc. Only ever here since it's close to the hotel United airlines puts flight crew up in. I'd either Uber/Lyft into the city or hop on the blue line and go into the city. CTA has its ups and downs. One station is no different really than another metro location. Maybe the further you are from the city you can expect more bus spots and individual car parking spots. This is one of those instances! Physically this is a great station. As far as CTA goes on scheduling and routes that's not the point of this review. Don't put ketchup on your Chicago style hot dog.

The only downside is once on the platform, there is little shelter from the biting winter wind, or a blowing rain. The actual station at street level is small but does provide shelter and has a monitor showing train ETAs.

Access to the platform is simple stairs or elevator and it's a matter of which direction of your destination and see many bring their e-bikes and scooter making getting around town easy. Thank you!

Yeah... I like. I know I'm speaking of a train station, but that doesn't change that it's always a…read moregood day when I visit CTA - Morgan. I could tell you this is because of the Fulton Market area, but I believe such places ought to be judged by their own merits, rather than the area where they find themselves. Morgan is a modern station. While not a work of art, per se, the tasteful use of stainless steel with some design elements gives it a more pleasant look than the old, worn, vanilla found in other 'L' stations. (Let's put aside for now those with old charm.) Morgan is also clean, well-lit, easy to navigate, fully accessible, and wider than average. These features aren't necessarily rare, but a station is better when they're present. Ample signage, too! Finally, seating here is limited, but this is typical of almost all stations, and while I think I know the reasons, this is not the forum to discuss them. Thus, Morgan earns a spot among the better of CTA stations, with standouts being its modern design, cleanliness, and accessibility.

My husband and I took the L train during our weeklong stay in Chicago. Grand is an underground…read moretrain station run by the CTA. It's on the Red line, which is one of the lines that runs 24/7. Grand station was the closest to the hotel where we stayed, so we often went to this one whenever we traveled to further neighborhoods in the city. It's a busy station and very reminiscent of the NYC subway.

The CTA in Chicago in general is pretty good for getting around, especially to and from the airport…read morein my opinion. I think it's slightly nicer than the NYC subway, but not by much. The platforms really look similar, and are pretty easy to navigate. There is usually a staff member in the help booth and they're pretty nice if you're confused (I had to ask one of them a question the first time I rode the CTA). Overall, I think the number of stops/lines available is pretty good; it's not quite as good as NYC or other countries e.g. Seoul, SK -- but if you're staying downtown for instance, you can get around pretty easily and to/from the airport with minimal walking to get to a nearby station and either connect to or go direct to the airport. I'm very glad the CTA is available as an option for visitors and folks who live here since parking is paid almost everywhere, and definitely limited (especially downtown!).

CTA has an L station on 35th in Bronzeville. It's on the Green Line. Providing another stop for…read moreWhite Sox games, this also is the stop for Illinois Institute Of Technology. Better known as IIT, this is a busier stop when school there is happening The Bronzeville neighborhood also has lots of black owned businesses and other things going on. Go here to avoid the busier trains a few blocks away. It serves the Green Line. The Red Line gets horribly busy for White Sox games so this is a much better way to get in and out. For IIT students this is the stop closest to it. This gets busy when school is in session. Also close to here is a Metra station so you have another transportation choice. The trains run fairly often so no wait for long. Has an outdoor platform meaning there's fresh air. It's mostly clean compared to around here. The station is mostly safe and there's usually no bad smells.

Gotta love the advertisement as I'm traveling in Chicago from the West loop area for matcha yes and I'm SO lucky to have Terry K and Kyra K for the navigation as it's usually on me to do so it was so relaxing getting around. We did get to Chicago Station riding the 66 bus with a short walk but as this will take us to our destination of the South Loop area. I've said it before the CTA system very much reminds me of Japan rail as well very similar in accessibility and convenience of use with lots of signage and reminder of each stop. Thank you!

Feels safer than many other stations but that's not saying a lot. There's a few fast food places and stores. It has a kind of busy location at Chicago Avenue and Franklin Street with all the commuters coming. It serves the Brown and Purple Lines. This is between the Merchandise Mart and Sedgwick stations. Inside there's kind of a bad odor and there's a few sketchy people but that's typical stuff around. There's a few bus stops that are located conveniently close by here. Has shopping around the area. It has some fast food like Dunkin, some grocery stores like Wal-Mart, but nothing any good. This seems to be mostly safe.
