Exactly as the title says. Anybody know of the best way to get from O’Hare to UChicago? Taxi is too expensive, from what I’ve heard, and my parents aren’t too keen on me hopping all over the CTA and having to walk a couple blocks due to safety concerns. While I could just not listen to them on that point, I would prefer to - well, I’d prefer to avoid the entire “lying to my parents” bit if I can help it.

(Also, I got to O’Hare from UChicago using the Green Line, which I’ve heard is a bit sketchy if you’re traveling by yourself, so I’m not quite sure how to get back. Take the Blue Line and then hop to the Red Line, get off, take the bus, and then walk? Oi, this public transit stuff is messy.)

Or is there a shuttle service I can use (ideal), and if there is, do I need to book a spot? Or do I just . . . show up and pay?

Thanks! (And I’ll certainly be booking flights at Midway next time. Jesus, what a mess.)
