Grand station on the Red Line

Grand is a station on the Red Line of the Chicago ‘L’.

Trains call here around the clock — the Red 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 5 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.

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.
