Hi All,

Is that fare $2.25? How I can go to El train station from baggage claim. I have to pick my purple bag and So I have small carryon with me. Which way where I can go straight to El Train station from ORD terminal 2. Can anyone need to know where I can catch the train. Thanks Guys.

You want to claim your bags on the lower level of T2. You can catch the CTA by going down to the Pedestrian tunnel near exits 2B or 2D once you claim your bag. (See map linked)

Here's an excellent link regarding your CTA question.

It's reasonably well marked with signs, too. I can't remember if it says "Trains To City" or something similar, but generally speaking you should be fine. (Hint: If you wind up outside, you've made a wrong term.)

I just make it on the train last Friday afternoon and returns to ORD today. I can see it the signs where I can catch CTA to downtown Chicago. It's much easier for me that I know how to get there. I took on Blue Line. I didn't have need any help from those people. I can followed those people where I catch the train. I can handle on it.

Yup, sure I am. I am very good transportation. I am very good ride on the bus/light-rail/rail/train, too. It's much easier for me. That is why I am very good ride on bus skills. I have been on city bus for a long time. I pay $14.00 for 3 days pass.

The fact that the signs actually say "Trains to City" took some of the wind out of my Chicago sails, and we excuse people who aren't locals...but we'd never use the phrase "El Train". It's either "the train" or "the EL" or less frequently "the subway".
