CTA – 54th/Cermak

It may not be a fancy station, but it’s everything a CTA station needs to be. It stretches the entire block with entrances on both the south and north ends, as well as the middle. The platform on both the north (disembarkation) and south (embarkation) end are covered, but not enclosed. Unless there is a massive storm, you’ll stay dry. The middle of the station is enclosed, with a couple ticket kiosks, bike racks, and a CTA staffer. It’s also heated and a great place to chill while you’re waiting on the train.
