If you do get the chance to take the train, I recommend it. My wife likes Chicago and since we're in Ann Arbor we go about once a year. I refuse to drive to Chicago because it just makes me mad, so we take the train. Hop on in Ann Arbor, we bring some snacks. I spend three hours reading/surfing the web, then we get to downtown Chicago. I'm not angry and tired so we can go out and enjoy the evening or activity.
- jungletime 6y agoThanks, I will try. I love trains. I was in Europe this past year, and hopped around from city center to city center on 200km/h Trains. It was great. I remember driving through Chicago as being frustrating too. I was going though the city maybe more than 10 years ago. It was actually super scary. Lots of construction on the highways. Lanes blocked off. And I remember a few times where I had to go from almost a stopped position, across a few lanes of full speed traffic, to get to an exit or a booth.
- OldHand2018 6y agoThe train between Chicago and Detroit is nice, which is why it is frequently sold out. You had bad luck that day, maybe you’ll get the chance to try again some time in the future. Ignoring the “metro” train stations, there are 4 major train stations in downtown Chicago. People are pretty helpful, but if you don’t specify which station you need to get to you are going to get pointed in a lot of different directions. Now you know which station you need, so it would be a lot easier next time. The Greyhound station... well, unfortunately there are a lot of naïve people out there that get paid $50 or something to carry an “extra” suitcase to Chicago “for a friend” who will pick it up. The cops are always there because they know how it all works.
