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.

Love it!! This station has so much parking available and isn't in a downtown suburb so it is always so easy to get to and park at. There are so many parking lots that it is overwhelming to Map at first but once you are there it is super easy! My only negative with this station or just metra is my train came 8 minutes early and it didn't stay at the station until the scheduled time. Wtf?

There is plenty of seating and it's nice to have so much covered space while your waiting in the rain for the train. Shout out to the super nice guy running the coffee/snack shop who let my husband and I have our coffee only after we realized we had no cash (SO embarrassing)! We'll be paying you back tomorrow sir! He has a great selection of coffee, milk and syrups for your $1.50 medium coffee.

Possibly the best station due to the parking and the walkways…read more The good... the station is recently renovated (a few years ago), so there's a decent interior, clean bathrooms, coffee, vending machines, etc... From the exterior, there's a pay by day lot right next to the station (north side) and a permit lot and meters just south of the station. There are both pedestrian walkways above and below ground. This makes access easy and convenient. The bad... not as many covered vestibules along the walk way as some stations, but still pretty good all considered.

The biggest downside is that the interior is only open for very short hours, so make sure to bring cash. You're most likely going to have to pay on the train. In the colder months, you won't be able to hide inside for shelter and you'll have to tough it out on the platform. Parking is also a little hard to find because everything around has time maximums. I recommend getting here a few minutes early if it's your first time at this station so you don't miss your train.
