Getting around in Chicago, IL

Public Transportation

The public transportation service is provided by CTA (Chicago Transit Authority), which also serves several adjacent suburbs outside Chicago�s city limits, operating an extensive network of buses and rapid elevated and subway systems known as the Chicago L, with line that are designated by colors � Blue, Red, Orange, Green, Purple, Brown, Yellow and Pink. The Red and Blue lines offer a 24-hour, around the clock rail service, Chicago being the only city in the world to do so.

 

Car

Due to the extensive and diverse range of public transportation options, driving a car to get round in Chicago is not exactly necessary, However, if you plan to explore the city and its surroundings, by yourself, during your stay, a rental car might come in handy.

 

Taxi

There are plenty of taxi services in Chicago, but the fares are not exactly cheap. If you�re on a budget, while staying in the city, you might want to avoid using the cab to get around. Sometimes, traffic can get heavy, and you might end up waiting for a good 15 to 20 minutes (while the meter runs) at the light, and the trip may cost twice as it would usually cost on a `normal traffic day`.

 

Bike

Chicago may be described as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, due to the wide array of bicycle transportation facilities available, the numerous miles of on-street bike lanes, the approximately 10 000 bike racks, the 170 miles of bike route signage and the state-of-the-art central bicycle commuter station in Millennium Park. CTA's fleet of more than 2000 buses has been equipped with bike racks, making it easy for visitors who are on a budget to combine riding the bus and riding the bike, to easily get around in the city, and, therefore, save money.
