An Equal Opportunity Employer

With the opening of the O’Hare extension of the Blue Line in 1984 and the Orange Line to Midway in 1993, Chicago became one of the few cities in the world with rapid transit service to two major airports. When used in combination with CTA’s extensive bus service, the whole world is within easy reach of just about anywhere in the city, and vice-versa.
