When I was in college, I commuted one year and this was my home stop. To tell you the truth, this stop has a very small building for a VERY busy/crowded Metra stop. Inside during the summer there is no air-conditioning and even the old pay phone is gone. Early mornings there was a lady who served coffee for .75 cents the last I remember but it's been a few years since I've had to be on the train so early. Now though, the stop is under construction and the blueprint for the new building is beautiful.
The commute on a full train ride is about an hour, and an express train is about 45 minutes. Watch out what side of the track your train will be coming from depending what time of the day it is. read more
