Be aware that many gps will suggest you take “Lower Wacker” when driving up through the Loop. This is not recommended because the gps often loses signal upon entering the tunnel system, and once below ground the signs are small and not intuitive. Although it will take an extra 2-5 minutes we recommend taking alternative routes such as the Ohio Street exit off of the I-90/94 Kennedy Expressway.

Greyhound
If the Greyhound bus is stopping at “Chicago Train Station” please see “Coming from Chicago Union Station” directions.
If the Greyhound bus is stopping at “Chicago Bus Station”, that is the main Greyhound station at 630 W. Harrison Street, Chicago, IL 60607.
