Thanks for the help. The app is NOT intuitive. Thanks to this thread, I finally figured it out: 1) Click on "Cards" (bottom of the screen). 2) Click the symbol on the top right of the screen that is an outline of a card with a plus sign on top. 3) Click "Add Ventra Card to Apple Wallet." 4)...

Okay, I am stumped. When I click on "Tickets" (on the bottom right), all it allows me to do is purchase a METRA ticket. I don't see an option to purchase a CTA ticket or pass.

I can't imagine that long distanced trains will have the same seating - at least as far as seat pitch is concerned. Seat width may wind up being the same.

Hmm... And while I was fairly comfortable during my one-hour ride between Chicago and Joliet, I could see these seats being a little too stiff for longer journeys, such as the five-hour passage all the way through to St. Louis. Unfortunately, seat width also decreases from about 21 inches on...

The merger makes sense as far as their route maps are concerned. While mergers are seldom good for the consumer as far as low prices are concerned, I am encouraged by the new LLCs that are trying to make a go of it, such as Breeze and Avelo. You also have Allegient as a strong player. Spirit...

Oddly enough, that location did not come up when I put the address into CTA's website.

Ah... thanks for catching that.

I will be in Chicago this weekend, and would like to purchase a weekend (Saturday & Sunday) $10 pass. I will be arriving in the city at Union Station. I have downloaded the Ventra app, but I have to confess that it's somewhat confusing. I assumed that I could just purchase the weekend pass in...

Same. I am comfortable self-insuring most aspects of my trip, but I always get a policy that covers medical care and medical evacuation. And I make sure that the policy I get is the primary insurer for medical care. These policies are very cheap.

Southwest is increasingly willing to enter into more congested airports. They now operate out of O'Hare, LGA, BOS, DCA, SFO, LAX, IAH, etc.

DCA is one of the best airports as far as ease of public transportation connections are concerned.

With terminal 5 being so isolated, I am shocked that anyone would give ORD top marks.

It's very hit or miss, with a lot more misses than hits.

I took Clinton St. because the underpass below I-290 is better there. You have the Clinton metro stop and it's just better in general than the Canal St. underpass (flatter, better sidewalk).

I have walked there before during the lunch hour on a weekend. I felt completely safe. However, it is not a populated neighborhood. It's more light industrial. So you are a bit exposed in the sense that there aren't other people around if anything does happen. But I would happily make the...

If they are going to have streaming to devices, they really need to get more seats installed with a clip on the seatback to hold your tablet. American Airlines has a pretty good design, but those seats are few and far between.

I agree on the formal nights. As someone who travels for business, the last thing that I want to do is tote around a suit (or even a jacket) on vacation. To do it right, I need to bring my garment bag. Adding an extra bag is not worth it for a dinner or two.

I hate to say this, but if Amtrak is going to actively solicit reviews, they really need to up their game or they will be sorely disappointed. We all love Amtrak here, but there are some serious issues, such as: 1) Persistent delays; 2) Indifferent service attendants; 3) Old and worn...

Happy for you, but those announcements are SO annoying! (I know... you have no choice.)

We are not "cruisers," but on the one cruise we took we both got seasick. This was before the mega-ship days, but I was still surprised at how much our 70,000 ton cruise ship could be tossed around in a storm. To add insult to injury, we had to miss a port day because of the storminess.
