west burb to ord
Read some threads on this subject, ord to downtown etc. Im new to the area, living in Lyons/Berwyn area. Is my best bet to get to ord taking the metra to union station then blue line from clinton to ord? The shuttle is roughly $50, a bit high to me. Any ideas would be appreciated.

If you want to take a cab, I'd suggest http://www.redcab.net It shouldn't cost more than $35.
Now, for the cheaper options -
1. Metra to Union Station and Blue Line is definitely an option.
2. Cheaper option is taking Pace Bus 311 to Oak Park - Blue line or Pace Bus 307 to Haarlem - Blue line and taking the Blue line all the way to ORD. You can find the nearest Pace stop to you at http://www.pacebus.com Cost = $1.75 (Pace) + $2.25 (CTA) = $4.00
3. Cheapest option is taking CTA all the way. You have CTA Bus 21 from North Riverside Mall. You can check other CTA buses using google maps (public transit).
