What’s so great about a train station? Besides the cleanliness which is not all that great, there isn’t anything to rave about. Tickets to Union Station are $ 6.75 from here and prices vary lower and lower depending on your destination. Trains are always clean, conductors are always real friendly, especially to a regular like myself. All in all, it’s a wonderful way to get downtown. Plus, you save gas and car mileage! Bravo, Metra! :)
