The location is convenient but the station itself is very SHABBY. And there aren’t enough signs to guide your way within the station, so you can easily get lost on the platform. Usually not many people here except passengers getting on or off, thus no one to ask for directions. Would absolutely not recommend using this station without someone familiar with it. Felt like being spirited away when I got to the wrong platform and couldn’t find the way to the correct one at night!

Cuidado com os dias de domingo...pois os trens passam de 2 em 2 horas e a estação acaba ficando totalmente deserta, sendo assim, tenha planejamento. Outro ponto importante é não deixar de levar cartão de crédito, pois as vezes as máquinas não aceitam dinheiro e você pode acabar não conseguindo comprar o bilhete.

The new font (implemented in 2017?) on train departure screens is hard to read. The previous font was better. Also, inbound trains intermixed with outbound trains is too much information noise. Very very few people ride trains from Van Buren to Randolph. Display outbound trains only, just as before.

This station has been falling apart for far longer than the last 13 years that I've been going through it. It needs to be completely shut down, gutted and rehabbed. But you can't beat Metra for the commute in and out of the city.

The ceiling needs to be a little bit higher for tall people 6"foot 2'in. It's a little bit low. There are two levels in the train station track 1 and track 2. One of them has a tunnel underneath the tracks to platform two.

  • Lou Donkle

Accessibility is very good with elevators on the platform for tracks 2 and 3, inside the station for track 1, and also for getting up to Michigan Ave. at the end of the tunnel.

  • Jakub Hanák

Feels creepy. Good service but it lacked information on South Shore Line departures (I had to guess at which platform the train will arrive)

  • Zack Collins

If you are taller than 5F 8IN your head will drag on the ceiling. Dump... interior looks like it was built in the 1960s.

  • Dave SR

Needs to be rehab, the structure is very dilapidated. Concrete is falling near people while they wait for the train.

  • Benoit Bennetot

Une station parfaitement située, mais proposant trop peu de trains ! Une apparence externe qui ravira les parisiens.

  • Mike Burnside

While the station needs a massive overhaul, it's extremely convenient where it's situated.

  • Junhyun Kim

Don't forget to buy the ticket! It's a different transit system from the Chicago metro.

  • Chrystopher Terry

The employees here are super unhelpful and they will take your concerns for a joke.

  • Katie Gustafson

Falling apart but convenient location, lobby was leaking from ceiling, no vending

  • Alvin Malone

  • Tzu-hsun Hsu

有售票窗口,也有不小的候車室,但是進站的列車種類很多,現場欠缺完整的資訊讓旅客分辨現在進站的是哪一班列車,結果不小心就搭錯車了 > '<
