Evanston has the metra, not the el. Fewer stops. And even THEN, you have to get to your actual place of work from the transportation station. And things have changed even in the last 5 years.
It adds up:
If you don't live close to the El, you have to walk there or catch a bus. That's 20 minutes.
Actual trip on the el is another 30 minutes, if you're lucky.
If you don't work right off of an El stop, that's another 15 minutes.
And that is OPTIMAL time, oftentimes you will get delays because the blue line is over-populated and has constant delays.
