Metra Stop at Great Lakes

Posted by NavyDads CoAdmin Jim Gramza on May 14, 2011 at 5:14pm in PIR - ( Pass In Review )

 

For those of you who will be using public transportation while attending PIR

 

 

 

 

The Metra train schedules can be found in this PDF file: Metra Union Pacific North (UP-N) Schedules and Fares PDF. The Great Lakes Station is on the Union Pacific North (UP-N) line which runs out of Ogilvie Transporation Center which is about a block from Union Station. Metra trains run out of three different stations in Chicago. Confusing, we know. A one-way ticket costs about $6.25 from downtown Chicago to Great Lakes. Weekend passes are available for $7 for unlimited rides on any line to any destination. Your sailor does get a reduced fare, but must show military ID.

    My famly and I took the train to Chicago then used the trolley system to get around in town. Very fun for a family from Oklahoma that doesn't have a train system in the big towns to get on and ride to and from to save a little headache of big city traffic.
