Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD) Departures BoardORD Chicago O'Hare International Airport

The CTA Blue Line runs round the clock; the station is on the lower level of the garage: from terminals 1, 2 and 3 follow the “Trains to City” signs through the pedestrian tunnels on the basement level; from Terminal 5 first take the ATS to Terminal 3 or 2. Tickets are sold at machines by the station, for cash or card. Metra North Central Service trains depart from O'Hare Transfer station behind the Multi-Modal Facility transport hub, which the ATS serves from every terminal; tickets are bought from the conductor. Pace buses 250 and 330 leave from the Multi-Modal Facility (bays 8 and 9).

Taxi ranks are on the lower level by the baggage claim exit of each terminal; board only there, not with drivers on the departures level. Taxis are metered; on average $50 from the airport to downtown Chicago. Taxis to the suburbs are booked in advance by phone with a suburban company. Uber and Lyft pick up on the upper level: at Terminal 2 — zones 2A–2G with orange signs, at Terminal 3 — 3G, 3H, 3J and 3K with green ones.
