That should be no problem.

Hope you can some day

At about 3:40 the video discusses the metra zones. The zones are important for riders to understand as fare is determined by zones. The first 3 minutes the video discusses how Metra fits in the chicago public transportation system. If someone rides metra, knowing its role in how it works within this framework ( that includes cta and pace) is helpful to know where metra provides service.

Happy to help!

Thanks and you too!

Thanks!

This may be helpful. I would assume most of the metra machines would include this option during the open dates available for purchase . “Monthly Pass Good for unlimited rides in a calendar month between your selected zones on weekdays and systemwide on weekends. Available for purchase from vending machines or the Ventra app from the 20th to the 12th. Passes expire at noon on the first business day of the next month. Monthly Passes are for the exclusive use of the purchaser and are not transferable.” metra.com/fares

You’re welcome and glad you found it helpful.

Yes

You can reach the cta train in terminals 1,2 and 3 in similar way.

Thanks 😊

You’re welcome and good luck on your travels

Thanks for the feedback and I hope you have a good and safe trip to Chicago.

1-3. The video takes you through the terminal 3 walk to cta. 1 and 2 are similar.

Hello and you are correct, thank you for the updated information, I will add that for now to the description so people understand that since February 2024 it’s been changed. Instead of the 10 alphabetical zones ( A through J), it’s now reduced to 4 zones numbered 1 through 4. Metra also made some changes in the rates and the type of passes that you can buy. And they also now state all ticket windows have been closed ( you now need to purchase tickets via ventra app, vending machine, or pay to conductor after board train).

For the latest 2024 changes in the Metra rail system, you can go to this webpage on the Metra website. metra.com/2024FarePlan#:~:text=Under%20the%20new%20structure%2C%20the,on%20each%20line%2C%20which%20vary.

Welcome to the channel and Glad you found the video helpful. The metra train system can be a lot of fun to ride and provide an economical adventures to explore different parts of the Chicagoland area. Worth learning!

That is an interesting question. This may be helpful in answering your question: supportourtroops.org/news/2238-when-ships-retire#:~:text=Retiring%20or%20“decommissioning”%20Navy%20ships,crews%20will%20remove%20usable%20parts.

Thank you!

Thanks for the feed back. And totally agree with your sentiment.

Agree 100% !

I hope so too!

For most people, they would probably take the CTA train (blue line). But there is a metra train that takes you to the airport as well. metra.com/train-lines/stations/ohare-transfer

Tough experience, but this might encourage some people to go ahead and download the Ventra app, so they can just purchase their tickets on the app and use the credit card doing it.

@@TravGuideChannel i have the ventra app now because of that experience 🤣

A wise decision 🙂

In my experience, the conductors have always been helpful and polite. Very professional in their behavior. Thanks for your input.

Thank you very much!

Glad you liked it, here we experienced a 99.8% eclipse. Thanks for stopping in!

You're welcome

Haha

Nope, but it looks like a pretty interesting channel.

Glad it was helpful and have a safe trip.

Not enough time at all!!! Be prepared with plan b bcause it will not work

I’m gonna fly to Chicago next week and I’m also panicking.! I gotta get to one of the domestic terminals after arrival and someone told me it takes at least one hour to get to the domestic ones via train.! Ny lay over is around 3:50 h, So, I guess you already had your flight, and it would be great if you could share some of your experiences with me. 🙏

@@Pari991-y3o I made my flight, but only because it was delayed. I spent over an hour waiting in line at immigration, but everything after that was really quick. and the train to the domestic terminal took about 15 minutes if I remember correctly:) 3 hours and 50 minutes should be enough, I think:)

Correct

When boarding at the downtown chicago terminal they had posted the trains and track

@@TravGuideChannel thank you! you are very helpful and informative 😊

Hope you can do it!

You can always get in the regular security line. I believe O’Hare does have a fast track security line, I never used it (except once when was late and needed expedited to make sure I didn’t miss my flight)But I don’t fly first class usually. But they have people that usually stand at the entrance to lines providing information. You can ask if wanting to go through the fast track line if you qualify. But always you can go through regular security.

@@TravGuideChannel Thank you!

You’re very welcome and good luck with your traveling

Chicago is definitely a world class city with many appealing sites and wide range of cultural attractions. Thanks for stopping in.

Thank you so much 😀

The domestic terminals do have elevators that take you to each floor, even down to the tunnel area

If you’re talking about the CTA stations, I cannot say for sure if every station has elevators. Some stations I believe do have them, but I can’t say if they’re available at all the stations. If you’re looking to ride the train and know the specific station, it might be good to call their customer service number to check and see if they do have elevators at that station.

Thank you...just trying to figure out navigating the CTA stations with a stroller@@TravGuideChannel

You’re welcome and here is the cta webpage with their contact info www.transitchicago.com/contact/

All domestic terminals are connected on the secured side. So if connecting from one domestic terminal to another domestic terminal , you shouldn’t have to exit and go through ATF again. you can find the other domestic terminal walking within the secured area. But if you are arriving on a domestic terminal, and need to catch an international flight, which most international flights depart from terminal 5, then you would likely have to exit the secured domestic area, and then go to terminal five and check in again through the checkpoints.

A wise traveler. Have a safe trip.
