So if you’re pressed for time, your best bet would be to take a taxi or an Uber/Lyft. To give you an idea of how far these two locations are from each other, it would approximately take you an hour to get from O’Hare to downtown Chicago by car – and that’s without traffic! If you were to take public transport, the CTA Blue Line ‘L’ Train is the most direct route but even that would take close to 45 minutes.
