Taking the Train to Midway at 11PM on Sunday: Any Tips?

[Liquid Sky]

My team member and I are flying to Midway and land at 11pm on Sunday night. Anyone else getting in around that time??

I am contemplating taking the shuttle to the hotel (Hilton) but hate the prices. I would love to take the train but am nervous about taking it at night. I love how cheap it is!

Has anyone ridden the train at night and is it "ok"?

You wouldn't catch me on them at night! And I just asked my husband who grew up in the areas, and he said take a cab and pay the fare (or the shuttle would be basically the same and probably cheaper than a cab), but do NOT take the train. (Midway isn't in a great area anyway.) But taking the L at night isn't smart, especially for a woman who will stand out as a target with luggage! Not trying to scare you but we want to see you arrive safely dear. That's just our opinion and experience. Someone else may say otherwise I'm sure.

We usually take a cab (split the cost between a couple people and it is much cheaper than the shuttle)
