O’Hare transports close to 55 million passengers each year and is one of the busiest airports in the world. Although Midway has less traffic, it still serves close to 19 million passengers each year. Fortunately, the city of Chicago is very eco-conscious and works to reduce their environmental impact. These efforts are visible at both the ORD and MDW facilities, through programs that monitor waste management, water conservation, and electricity usage.

Transportation from the Airport

Chicago is a bustling hub known for its convenient and numerous public transportation options. If you are arriving at O’Hare, use the Chicago Transit Authority’s (CTA) Blue Line train. This railway will take you to the Forest Park terminal in downtown Chicago where you’ll have the option to hop on a connecting line. Additionally, Metra’s North Central Service train transports passengers to Union Station downtown as well as the north central suburbs.

Adversely, from the Midway Airport you can take CTA’s Orange Line train which makes frequent stops from the airport to downtown Chicago. Both airports are serviced by Pace buses as well throughout the city and its surrounding neighborhoods.
