Chicago Ohare Blue Line to Downtown

In summary, to get from Chicago O'Hare airport to downtown using the Blue Line, you must follow signs for "CTA Trains" and purchase a fare ticket at the station. Trains run 24/7 with departures every 5-10 minutes during peak hours and every 15-20 minutes during off-peak hours. The fare for a one-way trip is $5.00 and there are multiple stops along the way. The Blue Line is the most direct and cost-effective option, but there are other public transportation options available.

Did anyone do this yet? Was it hard to figure out? Was the airport well marked with signs, or did you wander around for a while till you figured it out? I leave tomorrow morning, just looking for a heads-up. Thanks in advance.

The blue line is running a bus from O'Hare to the next stop Rosemont, where you can get the train. Follow the signs to the Buses. It may be a long walk depending on your airline but I didn't find it difficult.
