CTA – Adams/Wabash

CTA is doing a good job, this stop was no exception, clean neat, trains on time.

No frills… typical CTA stop here in the loop. When I was in Chicago training for a new job, this was my stop (as it was right outside of my building). I stuck to the brown line mainly, but you can pickup the green, pink, and purple lines here. A block away (underground are the red and blue lines).
You can easily get to someplace on foot taking the train in Chicago… It may be even faster than sitting in traffic in a taxi or your own personal vehicle. If you feel antsy about riding with strangers, bring a book, listen to music, and ignore everyone else… chances are they are doing the same as well.
The one other great thing about this stop is that since it is elevated, you can power up the stairs and cross the street without having to wait for traffic and even take a break from the rain crossing the street.

Compared to the Madison station, much roomier platform, it’s strange how some stations are better and bigger than others, probably for some historical reason. Otherwise similarly an older platform that is in a state of charming disrepair, not as obvious as some of the other stations. Not much blockage from the wind on a windy cold day.
