O'Hare station on the Blue Line
O’Hare is a station on the Blue Line of the Chicago ‘L’. It is the end of the Blue Line.
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.
The station is step-free: there is a lift or ramp from street level to the platform, and trains are level with the platform edge.
Entering the system here costs $5.00 rather than the usual $2.50 — the only station on the network with a premium fare. Travelling to O’Hare is the normal fare, and an unlimited pass covers entry here with nothing extra to pay.
