Metra Train Station - Route 59

Metra Train Station - Route 59

Riding Metra to downtown Chicago has many advantages over driving:…read more1. Spaces for Day Parking $2 until 2359 hrs. 2. Buy parking pass via ATM. 3. Rte 59 station has bathrooms, ATM, bus card machine, soda, snacks, coffee shop, dry cleaner, and a live person behind bulletproof glass. 4. Bathrooms are relatively clean and have toilet paper - and are free to use. 2018 cost for a round trip ticket to Union Station is $16. Damn, that's high - but still less than parking downtown. But the best part about riding the train is the gentle rocking motion that puts me right to sleep. Don't worry about missing your stop. All you have to do is ask the conductor to wake you and they usually do.

So call me crazy, but my experience with the Route 59 train station usually involves me being…read morefrazzled, frustrated, and slightly out of breath. Okay, so some of this is my own fault (for always running late), but I've never had an overly stellar experience here. With this review I hope to provide some tricks and tips I've learned along the way to help make your commuter experience more enjoyable! -- Commuting into the city during the week? If you want to snag a daily park spot, follow these guidelines: 7:32 a.m. train or earlier = no problem parking 7:52 a.m. train = you're taking a gamble but still possible 8:16 a.m. train = forget it. No daily spots available. -- Daily parking is $2, so bring cash. Also maybe carry some back-up change because it's happened to me more than once where the meter I'm using isn't accepting dollar bills for whatever reason. -- During the week they have a little shop below the Metra station office. Pop in for some coffee, breakfast or a snack for your morning commute! There's also a dry cleaners located here, which I would assume might make some people's lives a lot more convenient. -- 7:32 am train during the week is an express train into the city and it's glorious. Straight shot into union after Naperville and it's not packed so you can probably snag your own seat! -- Weekend parking is FREE. Total plus. Traveling into the city on a weekend is easy-peasy. -- Depending where you're coming from, AVOID taking Route 59 to get to the station. CONSTRUCTION, CONSTRUCTION, CONSTRUCTION. Always. -- There's a waiting list for a monthly parking pass, but it's not as bad as the Naperville Train Station.
