The CTA Orange Line provides service directly to and from Midway Airport.
The fully-accessible Midway station is right next to the airport terminal building, and connected by an enclosed walkway.
Orange Line train service operates from Midway (on the southwest side of Chicago) to downtown via elevated tracks. (Once reaching downtown, trains travel clockwise around the Loop and then make all stops back to Midway.)
The normal travel time to downtown from Midway is 20-25 minutes.
Service operates all day, every day, except during overnight hours (roughly 1 am to 4am) or after 11 pm on Sundays. Alternate overnight (“owl”) service is available via the N62 Archer bus.
A free transfer is available to connecting CTA train lines at designated stations.
To make a paid transfer, such as to a bus route, you’ll need a Ventra Card or Ventra Ticket with fare or a pass, or to pay with a personal contactless bankcard (onto which you can load fare or passes at machines).
