airport) to downtown. Tickets are purchased from machines at the station entrance. Once in
downtown Chicago, get off at the Washington station and follow signs to "Randolph/Washington". The South Shore
Line's
station is on Randolph St. Directions and schedules are at the South Shore website: www.nictd.com. (Click "Directions in Chicago".) You buy a ticket at the station or
on the
train. The South Shore Line trains are relatively infrequent on weekends (several hours or more
between trains) but while you wait you will be in quite a nice part of downtown Chicago. |
