Traveling from Carol Stream to Chicago ?

Posted by admin

I’m working on getting a job that requires me to work in downtown Chicago. What I’m trying to avoid is having to drive my car to Chicago through all the traffic and trying to find some place to eventually park it. What I’m trying to figure out is if there are any trains, buses, or if the L train will get me relatively close to my destination. I’m trying to get to is E Lake St. and Prudential Plaza, again this is in downtown Chicago. If anybody could help me find a route that doesn’t involve me having to use my car I would appreciate it.

    metra is great for trains into chicago

    to a west side train station then a quick cta crosstown bus to the prudential plaza

    cta buses should run above ground every 5 minutes from lasalle train station to lake street and michigan avenue, 1 block from prudential plaza.

    there should be a express bus above ground and possibly a bus on lower wacker from the station the a below ground entrance to the prudential building

    remember to try food at the Berghoff restaurant [classy 1900 style resturant]

    welcome to the area
