Airports Via PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Midway Airport

Follow the airport signs to the CTA Orange Line/transit center. At the transit center, walk outside to the CTA bus terminal and board the #55 Garfield bus. The bus runs east on 55th Street to the Museum of Science and Industry. Exit at the Ellis Avenue stop (you will see the Ratner Atheletic Center on the corner). Walk south on Ellis Avenue towards the heart of campus.

O'Hare Airport

Take the CTA Blue Line train from the airport to the Jackson stop downtown. Exit the subway and walk one block east to State Street. Then follow directions for travel by the #6 Jackson Park Express bus on the Mass Transit page.

Airports Via Taxi or Shuttle

The two main cab companies in Chicago are Checker Cab and Yellow Cab, and you can hire one just by calling 312-829-4222. A taxi ride to or from O'Hare Airport can range anywhere from $30 to $50 and a ride to or from Midway Airport can cost as much as $20. Taxi fare from Downtown Chicago to Hyde Park is about $18.

If you're scheduling a pick-up, make sure to tell them your name and the time you need to be picked up. It's also important to call half an hour before pickup time to make sure that there are no misunderstandings.

Omega Shuttle Service also offers transportation between Hyde Park and Chicago's Midway or O'Hare Airports. You can find fare and scheduling information as well as boarding locations on their website, http://www.omegashuttle.com/.
