Greyhound Bus Question for Those Familiar With Chicago

[Geekgirl69]

I will be coming in on Greyhound bus, staying at the Chicago Hilton... what's the best/cheapest way to get to the hotel from where the Greyhound lets me off?

It came down to taking the 17 hour bus ride or missing out completely because I can't afford the airfare so on the bus I go.

Thanks in advance!

Where does the bus drop you off? Chicago has transit maps for bus and El routes, which may be the cheapest way, unless the bus depot is pretty close to the hotel.

Transit Chicago will give you public transportation options. You will likely need to bus it if you do public trans as most trains (the El and subway) move north-south through the Loop. Or you can take a cab.

Ok, it looks like for the least walking I should take the 7 bus or I can walk to Clinton-Blue and take Blue line to LaSalle and walk from there.

Guess I will see how heavy my bag is before I make that decision. Thanks for pointing me in the right website direction.

Hello! Welcome to Chicago! I'm sorry to hear that you had to take a long bus ride, but I'm glad you're still able to make it. The best and cheapest way to get to the Chicago Hilton from the Greyhound station is by taking public transportation. You can take the CTA Blue Line train from the Greyhound station to the Washington stop, which is just a few blocks away from the hotel. The fare is only $2.50 and it will take about 30 minutes. You can also take a taxi, but that may be a bit more expensive. I hope you have a great stay in Chicago and enjoy your time at the Hilton!
