Your anecdote versus mine. As an example, there are 12 different bus lines that are directly adjacent to Millennium Station. You barely even have to step outside to use them. Hell, you don’t have to step outside at all to transfer from the blue or red line to Millennium station trains. All loop CTA lines are a 10 minute walk to Union Station and Ogilvie. You really think with these kind of stats that nobody is transferring? Not to mention the fact that the Metra runs express trains during rush hour to high population suburbs. You can get from Downer’s Grove to non-downtown neighborhoods like Lincoln Park or Wrigleyville faster than a car during rush hour via express trains + purple line.
