Which Chicago airport is easier to get to downtown on the train from?|124852

I_m going to Chicago in September and would like to know whether it_s easier to take the train from O_Hare or Midway to downtown. Thank you in advance for your help.

Both are fairly easy, but they are constantly doing work on the Blue Line, the train line that comes from O_Hare to downtown. There are delays all the time, so for that reason I_d say Midway, which is served by the Orange Line.

Both are easy but it depends where downtown you are talking about.

The Orange Line goes right into Midway and goes around the Loop before heading back out to Midway.

The Blue Line starts at O_Hare and goes under Dearborn Street as a Subway. And many destinations downtown can be accessed by the underground Pedway keeping you out of the elements.

If you have business in the West Loop west of the Chicago River, you can take the Blue Line from OHare to the Jefferson Park station and then take Metra into Olgilvie Transportation Center at the Citicorp Center.

See the map below for the downtown area map for the CTA. The second link shows the Pedway System.

That is one area we are one up on New York - their Subways do not go th the airports. They come close but you have to find a bus to finish the trips to LaGuardia and JFK.

Both are easy. From Midway take the Orange Line from the Terminus -sort walk from baggage claim- (12 stops on Orange Line to Clark + Lake). From O_Hare take the Blue Line (16 stops to Clark + Lake).

They are both easy. Ohare is farther so it takes longer. The midway train might require a slightly longer walk to get to from the terminal.
