Grand station on the Blue Line
Grand is a station on the Blue Line of the Chicago ‘L’.
Trains call here around the clock — the Blue Line is one of only two ‘L’ lines that never closes. Overnight you will wait roughly eight to ten minutes; at the morning rush it is every 6 minutes.
This station is not step-free — access to the platform is by stairs only. If you need a lift, the station pages here list which stops nearby have one.
A ride from here costs $2.50, the same as anywhere else on the ‘L’ and the same however far you go. Transfers are free for two hours.
