METRA
Metra Electric Line riders can take trains directly to the Auto Show - the line has a station at McCormick Place. On July 15, 16 and 19, most weekday Metra Electric Line trains, including those not normally scheduled to stop at McCormick Place, will make flag stops at the station, which means trains will stop there only if passengers are visible on the platform or riders on the train tell the conductor they want to get off there. See the weekday schedule here.
Metra also is offering weekend express service on the Metra Electric Line from Blue Island to the Auto Show. On the weekend of July 17-18, the hourly weekend Metra Electric Line express service from that line's Blue Island Station will connect with extra weekend trains running between Joliet and the Rock Island Line's Blue Island-Vermont Street Station. Rock Island Line riders can then transfer at Blue Island-Vermont Street to a Metra Electric Line train that will take them directly to McCormick Place. See the Metra Electric weekend schedule here and the Rock Island weekend schedule here.
Customers can also drive to the Blue Island-Vermont Street Station, where parking is plentiful, and board the Metra Electric express trains. As a further incentive to ride Metra to the auto show, parking fees will be waived at Blue Island during the weekend of July 17-18.
When it's time to leave the show that Saturday or Sunday, riders can board extra Metra Electric Line trains that will run express every hour from McCormick Place to Blue Island, where they can transfer back to an outbound Rock Island train making all stops from Blue Island-Vermont Street to Joliet.
Customers have a variety of fare options for the special weekend express service. The most convenient is the $7 Saturday or Sunday Day Pass, good for unlimited rides on either weekend day. It can be purchased on the trains or with the Ventra app, which can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
