There's a Starbucks nearby too if you have time to grab something. Depending on when you go, there's usually plenty of parking. The platform does require going up a lot of stairs so be prepared for that little jog. There is an old elevator that you could use but I can't guarantee if it always works or isn't dirty. Platform signs and announcements are clear and easy to understand. And from there you just hop on your correct train, show the conductor your ticket and enjoy the ride!

I didn't use the station for transportation but I did check out the railroad park and found that the rail fan action to be super awesome and nonstop. The place is super welcoming for rail fans and accommodating with no employee hassles which was cool, because I get hassled a lot by rail employees. The whole area is a rail fans paradise with lots of public access to so much action which was just awesome for my visit. This is the station for rail fans that want non stop action that will not let you down, two thumbs up here.

The downside is you have to use the ParkMobile app to renew your parking and the app is awful. The major issue is you can only renew your parking until midnight, or immediately after midnight. So if you're parking overnight, you must be awake at 12:01am to renew your parking for another 12 hours. Needless to say, 3 days in a row, that is unsatisfactory. Unfortunately the app does not let you know that in advance; you simply find out at 11pm when you want to go to sleep and realize you can only renew parking for 59 minutes unless you try again after midnight. My car was safe for the three days it was at Kedzie. But the surrounding are is a neighborhood to avoid at night, with all due respect. Note: the lot is on the north side of the CTA station. It is not marked with a sign at the entrance. It is hard to find by driving. But if you circle the perimeter of the station to the north you'll see it.

If the CTA really tried to make the OrangeLine as unique as they wanted it to be, they surely succeeded with this station, thanks to the flowers and trees here. This station allows you to connect to four bus routes #47, 51, 51A, and 52. Next to the south side of the station is a strip mall containing Aldi, Kmart, and several other nice stores. AJ Wright just closed all their stores so it's gone. Overall, five stars all around. Great station on one of the CTA's safest L lines.

The train takes you to the museums stop, Hyde Park, the south burbs, and the University of Chicago. It's the cheapest and most convenient way to visit the city.

There's often delays, which is the only bad thing. Hipsters catch the train here. It serves the Blue Line. There's a shitload of bars and restaurants. Always busy. Lots of Instagramming motherfuckers. As for the station, it's a classic. This is my most favorite other than the Quincy station. Both have old wood paneling. There's actually a charm about it, which you can't say about most stations. Lots of places around here to drink and eat. There's a Stan's Donuts right next to here. Busy intersection. There's lots of buses to hop on. Because trains are coming here from O'Hare, there's often delays. It's the biggest complaint about it. There's lots to check out in and around this if waiting.

All these things are basic essentials in this day in age for modern public transportation in a major city. I can appreciate the importance of having the service readily available and accessible to the public, but providing guidance and safety to all who ride these trains should also be the importance of the administration that operates them. The Chicago transportation Authority needs to do better. I'm a bit disappointed in the conditions of these trains and how they run.

If you're flying into O'Hare International Airport and want to skip the traffic and high ride-share…read moreprices, the CTA Blue Line is hands-down the best move. It's conveniently located right inside the airport, clearly marked, and easy to find even if you're running on post-flight autopilot. Trains run frequently, the ride is smooth, and it drops you straight into downtown Chicago -- no stress, no transfers, and no sitting in rush-hour gridlock. Plus, it's super affordable (seriously, one of the best deals in the city). I also love that the station is clean, well-lit, and feels safe, even for solo travelers or late-night arrivals. Just tap your Ventra card (or use your phone wallet), hop on, and enjoy watching the city unfold as you roll in. Whether you're a tourist or a local heading home, the CTA at O'Hare is one of Chicago's most underrated travel perks. Efficient, budget-friendly, and reliable -- exactly what public transit should be.

If this were any other station, it would be getting much higher marks. Unfortunately, given its…read morelocation, it has a fatal flaw. More on that later. Addison is accessible, has ample digital signage, and is easy to navigate. It is also wider than average for an 'L' station and is relatively clean, especially given how many people pass through. This amount of foot traffic is, however, its undoing. When there's a Cubs game or another event at Wrigley, Addison proves to be ill-equipped for the sheer volume of people. Yes, there is staff present to help manage crowds, but a packed platform is suboptimal for multiple reasons, especially safety. I appreciate that due to the CTA's setup, one cannot simply wish a wider station into existence. It may be possible, but it would be extraordinarily capital-intensive. That said, CTA-Addison gets the job done very well outside of Wrigley events, and passably during them.

This train stop is very well kept, and I'm sure it's location to Wrigley Field has a lot to do with that. There are two escalators (granted -- one is usually down), an elevator, and a HUGE platform so there is plenty of space to spread out. There is a woman who works here every morning who is as sweet as can be and always greets us regulars with a smile. The redline is not always the safest of trains, but it sure can get you downtown faster than the brown! If you're in town exploring the city or going to a Cubs game, nothing is more convenient than hopping off at Addison as the stop just steps from the field. If you live in the neighborhood, this can definitely be a downside. On game nights, the streets are flooded with fans and vendors. The trains from downtown back up to Wrigley are packed with fans going to the games in addition to the regulars heading home from work. It can definitely add some extra time getting home, which is something to keep in mind during the summer months. Overall, I always feel safe at this stop, the employees are friendly, it's well maintained, and the trains are *usually* on time!

Midwest SpeedPark was highly recommended by other Yelpers and now I see why. First of all, I love the communication. Upon booking your timeslot, you instantly get an email and text confirming your booking. You can even manage your booking if anything changes such as dates, times, or even if you're running a little bit late. Upon arrival, I love how the property is gated and you cannot get in there without a code. Cool points already as I felt my car would be secure since we had to leave it for 6 days. Once we got there, you scan a code to confirm you're there and an attendant comes out and greets you. He started unpacking our luggage to transfer them to the shuttle that would take us to the airport and then parks our car. You get a receipt to keep. After we got back from vacation and got all our luggage from baggage claim, you simply click on the link that they text you to let them know you're back and they will send a shuttle to pick you up. They will let you know which door to wait at. Once we got back to the Midway SpeedPark property, our car was ready as they already put it near the front, ready to be loaded with the luggage. It was such a seamless process that I was very impressed! I will definitely be using them again on future vacations. Please make sure to tip your driver generously as they do a great job.
