Is this a pathetic attempt to save money? Is it an attempt to cut back on vagrants without manning the station? Whatever it is I was pretty angry to see it. This used to be one of the better stations but they seem determined to ruin it.

This is a review for the Lake Cook train station on the Metra Milwaukee District North line. (at…read morethe time I'm writing this review, the map shows it in the wrong location - the station is just west of Waukegan Rd.) The station itself is fine - clean enough, bathrooms, seating and, as a bonus, Jimmy John's and a coffee shop are attached. The coffee shop is especially convenient for commuters. The problem with this station is the parking situation. Note that this is a Metra-owned lot, not municipal owned like many other stations. There are enough spaces. That's about where the good news ends. The layout of the parking lot is terrible with multiple bottlenecks when commuters are trying to leave. Getting all the way out can take 10 minutes, given that there is one parking lot exit onto Lake Cook Rd. for the station that is shared with Home Depot, a few restaurants and a small office building with a very short stoplight. At peak times, it's not unusual to wait 4 or 5 light cycles to get out. And there is no other way. Finally, the payment for parking here is also not great. The machines to do daily parking are confusing and often don't work. If you do monthly, you have to do it online (ok, that part's good, except that you have to do it each month - there's no option for a 3 or 6 month permit) but then you have to print out a piece of paper to display on your windshield. Not a fan. All of the other stations have either stickers or mirror tags. It's a pain in the butt to drive around all the time with a piece of paper on my dashboard and I am particularly opposed to the identifying information that it contains. I commute from this station because it's convenient, but Metra sure could improve the situation.

MD-N is a good option for those in the Deerfield/Lincolnshire areas heading south.

Good time to get work done on the train. ********** Constructive comments: *Clear signs: train directions were not clear (or I'm just a knucklehead) *Wi-fi *Recycling bin *Compost area

We arrived at Chicago airport to catch our connection, ran to the gate, the plane was there, but the doors had been shut. And once the doors are shut, that's it. (There were 18 people at the gate who should have been on that plane.) Staff handed us a card with a QR Code, and no other info was given. We went to the baggage claim area, but our luggage was not there. We found an employee who told us we had to "request a retrieval of our luggage". Would have been great if the staff at the gate shared this info with us. Long story short, 2-1/2 hours later, we finally connected with our luggage. Bathrooms were substandard compared to ones at other airports. Old and not the cleanest.
