Chicago Train, Downtown Chicago, Blue Line, Chicago O'Hare International Airport
In this vlog I ride the train from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to Downtown Chicago for just $2.50. One convenient way to get from the airport to Downtown Chicago is from the Blue Line train. It takes you straight to the downtown area in about 30 minutes. Hope you guys enjoy this video, stay tune for more.

We're heading to Chicago in a few weeks and I've been anxious about the the airport catching the train. This video was VERY helpful!!! Thanks so much.

love how Chicago has their airport connected to the downtown lol come on LA we gotta be better

@akis.4493 11 месяцев назад

We actually have both airports (Midway with the Orange Line and O'Hare with the Blue) connected.

@DevaMedina-fd4wt 9 месяцев назад

I know, I use to live in Chicago. The Chicago "L" subway and rail is connected from downtown to O'Hare airport. I rode on the Chicago "L" subway and rail many times. LA, California needs to connect their subway and rail to LAX airport to downtown. Corrupt politics is holding LA, California back in many ways.

@msr1116 7 месяцев назад

It wasn't always that way, though. There was pushback about the cost estimate (always lowballed), questions regarding just how many people would ultimately use the train (always inflated) and then the debate of putting the rail lines in between the Kennedy Expy lanes vs. adding two more traffic lanes.

@timmmahhhh 6 месяцев назад

Be happy LA has a light rail. It didn't until about 30 years ago so yes, let's hope that's one of the next improvements and expansions. As of now, NYC does not have light rails going into either JFK or LGA, but I understand they're working to change this.

@AB-fm2zn Год назад

I remember landing in O'Hara and catching an Uber to the loop, wow the traffic! Next time I go I will definitely catch the train.

@lbputzer Год назад

Manny, I really like your positive attitude & commentary while traveling. We are kindred spirit. No experience or destination is perfect, there are always bumps in the road. The joy is in the appreciation for new environs and gratitude for being afforded the opportunity to travel..

@leonardclay4804 Год назад

These cities are the original when it comes to public transportation. This and New York has always been away of life. LA needs to continue taking a page from the book to vastly improve ours over time.

4:30 the blue railings he passed on the Washington platform is where sometimes there's live music from locals while you wait for your train. Some can really sing and play instruments. You only need a permit. And oh justice was not done for the scenery surrounding the airport. The landscaping is spectacular year round. The ride is absolutely beautifull coming and leaving the airport.

I feel the same way when I take rail to JFK - tons of traffic visible from LIRR and the AirTrain. Getting there from midtown Manhattan has gotten easier, btw - there is a sparkling new station under Grand Central - 21 mins to Jamaica (AirTrain Station), or 12-13 mins to Woodside, Queens (short Q70 bus or cab to LGA)

I miss Chicago. I had great times living there. I once lived in North Chicago, far north. The crime happening in Chicago is mostly in the FAR West Side of Chicago, far from Downtown, North and South Chicago. Chicago is general safe outside of the West Side.

Needed this bc the last time I went to Chicago i lucked out and hopped on a employee shuttle, (without realizing) and guess they thought I was a flight attendant or something. Which took me down the street to an employee parking lot and I got an Uber from there for 20$ instead of the 60$ it was saying at the airport. I know I won’t have that luck this time so I needed to start looking 😂

Going to a concern in Chicago in May and have been trying to figure out the best way to get from the Airport to our Hotel. never ridden a Subway and that was giving me anxiety but an uber is estimated to cost like $50-80 one way. This makes me feel sooo much better about just catching the subway

I'll be staying at La Quinta's downtown hotel located in the loop. I was going to visit in early April, but they have the buckingham fountain turned off for the cold weather, so I canceled. The next cities to visit will be San Francisco and Seattle, definitely.

@DARWINZOO Год назад

Cities call Choo choo trains, subways, "metro" differently in different cities. To the extent that I've chosen Choo Choo here in Boston for the "commuter rail" because subways are called trains by some "Boston" Bostonians. (Edit not where I grew up in Cambridge.) Then we have a version of above ground rail (when it's not a subway) these are often called trolleys In the UK you would never call a subway a train. I wasn't sure how to even Google this Because I also know it as cta. Give people a break.

Riding the blue line to downtown is convenient but taking the Kennedy expressway to downtown the has better views especially at night. I recommend an Uber or rent a car for the next trip

@namgreb9063 2 года назад

Last time I was in Chicago, I checked uber and it cost 75 usd for an uber from O'Hare to downtown, versus a three day pass for 15 dollars for CTA. You are out of your mind if you rent a car in Chicago, it's stressful as hell to drive there and expensive to park. You can get literally anywhere in the city for 15 bucks on the three day pass. No expensive rental car or uber.

@Secession1900 Месяц назад

Traffic on the Kennedy from the airport is horrible and doesn't let up until at least 8 at night. Don't drive or Uber unless you love being stuck in a traffic jam.
