It's also weird how they at times have a lot of TSA level fake security while a drug dealer is literally cattle calling that he is selling weed 20 feet away from them. Like why not just call the police & have them escorted off the premises? At times I've seen security act just as wild as the passengers. The station itself is nice. It looks like it was recently renovated. It's pretty much a bus depot with buses that go all over the southside coming here. As always KEEP YOUR HEAD ON A SWIVEL & CALL THE POLICE if you need help. There are a ton of shady characters. I've seen people before try to get a CTA employee to help them out with an issue & act surprised when the employee doesn't help them. Just like the "security theatre" that is TSA, CTA isn't law enforcement... they CAN'T enforce laws. They will only assist you by making a report & contacting the actual police.

Not in a very nice neighborhood. Fights happens all the time unexpectedly. Few robberies, phone…read moretheft happens alot, that includes gang shootings. Watch your back too especially getting on the Red Line or waiting for Pace Suburban Bus or CTA buses. This station smells like smoke, cheap beer. Don't risk on taking the elevator unless if you ever smelled a crackhead urine. I only go there if I gotta transfer different buses or going straight to Downtown Chicago on CTA Red Line. Don't trust anyone. Do not take the taxi. I had seen few fights there. I had gotten few starred. I had beggars asking me for money too. Just say no if any people asked you anything.

A wonderful friend of mine lives in Oak Lawn, Illinois, so when my dad and I were going to a Notre…read moreDame football game a little while back, I asked whether she would mind dropping us off somewhere along the South Shore Line's route. When my dad and I got to Chicago, my friend said she had scoped out the closest station to where she lived and that it seemed sketchy. I told her I didn't mind, although my dad was a little concerned. Being the stubborn person that I am, I told him it would be fine. I was the one who had ridden the South Shore Line many times by myself, right? We'd only be at the station until the train came, right? Well, sort of. On the way to the station, my friend tried to persuade me to let her drop us off somewhere closer to downtown. "It's fine with me," she said, but I didn't want to put her out. So we found the station and waited in her car until the train was about five minutes away. My dad and I caught the train right off, and we got to South Bend easily. So what's my beef with this station? Well, we made a return trip too. Again, my friend told me she'd be happy picking up us at the Roosevelt Road or even the Randolph Street Stations (as the Museum Campus and Millennium, respectively, were then called). I told her it would be fine. When we arrived at the Kensington Station, my friend wasn't there yet. We didn't have a phone, and I couldn't find a payphone, so we had to sit on the platform and wait. It was dark, cold, and desolate. I had my dad sit tight with our bags while I looked in the other parking lot, but my friend was nowhere to be found. Sitting up there with my dad, I was imagining the worst. His natural nervousness was rubbing off on me. My friend eventually arrived, and everything turned out OK. But I wouldn't voluntarily use this station again. The neighborhood is scarily quiet, and the station entrance is downright terrifying at night.

Maybe it's because I grew up here, and I've always felt safe here. And I always come home late too, usually around 1 on the last train in. But a lot of people commute to this neighborhood to use this station, so during rush hour, this area looks like something different , tons of people everywhere. Like I said, it may not look like a great place,(depending. Where u r looking off the tracks) but as a white person using this line and living in this neighborhood for years, I can assure you it's perfectly okay here, aside from some of the scum you see sitting around the station sometimes...I keep my knife..just in case...Haha..remember, if you look like you are scared, that's when u get screwed with. But this is the southside, what do u expect? ???

I've always wanted to visit Chicago and have purposely made a stop over here on my way to Boston in the past and was very impressed of not just how large but nice and clean it was though since it was short I didn't get to see much of it but did get to enjoy a hot dog and deep dish pizza here which yes you can find. From what I understand it's up there being the largest airport in the US and from my arrival believe that as the taxiing to the gate was quite longer than I'm used to but no waiting very efficient and great service taking care of our flight. What was nice is that they have a food court as well not very large but big enough to have a few various establishment along with various other shops and eateries just about everywhere including vending machines for popcorn and boba tea. Some of the signs though I did have a hard time navigating around though that could just be me as I was looking for a lounge only to have passed right by it lol but it is a very crowded airport and happy that we got here early enough to enjoy what it has to offer as the city of Chicago really was a fabulous place to visit and am so happy to check it off my list...but will be back if given the opportunity. Thank you!

I used to fly to Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) and MDW (Midway) regularly many years…read moreago. This past year, I've had three layovers at ORD since the last time I was here over 10 years ago. My last layover a couple weeks ago was probably the worst experience I've had at any airport. With ORD delaying my first two layovers this year, I had the unfortunate experience of having a cancellation. What was supposed to be a 2-hour layover turned into 3 delays, 2 gate changes, and eventually a cancellation due to severe weather. In total, I was at ORD for 25 hours! (I did rebook for the next day flight - there was only 1 flight a day to my final destination so my only option was the next day same time or a different airport with extra layovers). I was already sleepless so I was unsure how I was going to survive a night at the airport. Talk about high anxiety. With other passengers, we found a cozy area in Terminal B (near Gate B18) where they had little pods to sleep in. I "camped" there for the night but had very little sleep. At one point, one of the ORD employees came by and handed all of us campers a blanket. I thought that was very kind especially in the situation we were in. I really appreciate this gesture. I did somehow get about 2-3 hours of on-and-off "sleep". Thank goodness my carryon has extra clean clothes and stuff to keep me fresh and clean. I made the most of my situation by catching up on work, walking around, and whatever activity to keep me busy and make time move faster. I found a spa near Gate B12 where I got myself a much-needed massage. It was great! Overall, I will most likely avoid any future layover at ORD. However, I'm glad they have staff that still cared for us weary travelers by providing us a blanket. Glad I was able to get on my rebooked flight with just a small 20-minute delay. Whew!

The station is probably one of the nicest ones on the south side outside Beverly. Generally, the…read moresouth side is neglected by the city, but since the Pullman stop here is across from Pullman National Monument, they'll be sure to keep it up. It's a small Metra station that serves the Metra Electric line, which means it's one of those few that goes to Millennium Station, not Ogilvie or Union. The 111th Street Station is located in Zone C for Metra fare purposes. It's one of the least busy in the entire Metra system--apparently there are fewer than 50 people boarding here on average each day. Given its infrequent use, there aren't any services here; you won't find an agent, but on the other hand that means that if you have to buy your ticket on the train you won't pay a surcharge for buying it from the conductor. Parking isn't available for this station but there are CTA bus connections. Most unfortunately, this station is not at all accessible. There's 30+ steps to the platform, but you won't find an elevator here, I'm afraid, so if you need one you'd be better served by finding another station to use.

My complaint, the place was very, very dirty and even thought it was early, I did not feel safe waiting for the downtown bus. The ticket taker was rude and not helpful at all. The next time I take the bus, I will make sure I get a ride to the downtown station, which was much better and cleaner. I will bypass 95th st, unless they decided to clean it up and get someone in there that has better customer service skills. I usually do not right reviews, but this was not a good experience for anyone to have, especially a senior citizen. I also, had a coupon for a discount, and the ticket taker said she could not access the information to give me a discount, at this point all I wanted to do was get to my next desination and get out the the bus terminal.
