Quick note: in Chicago we have trains and we also have different colors, hard to explain but it’s color coded and basically the blue line takes you to O’Hare and also to Downtown but they’re opposite directions! If someone wants to go to the airport then they wait for the train where the sign says O’Hare! And if someone wants to go to downtown they wait for the train with the sign that says Forest Park! We have the blue line, red line, brown line, green line, orange line, pink line, purple line, and yellow line. I remember when I had my first job and on the first day I took the brown line train but I took the wrong direction and it is not a great feeling!

Here is some information on the CTA

I ran super fast

“Last stop is O’Hare” Wait? What??

Meant to go downtown!

    Oh nooooo! I hope you got to work on time!

  • Must be quite confusing. I would probably be getting lost on a daily basis.
