The Chicago Transit Authority’s #19 United Center Express route provides a convenient travel option for fans attending preseason hockey games on Saturday, September 19 against the Washington Capitals and Friday, September 25 against the Minnesota Wild. Game time for both contests is 7:30 p.m.
Buses will leave every 10 minutes from Michigan and Randolph beginning 90 minutes before the start of each game until the game begins.
When the game ends, #19 buses will depart the United Center approximately every 15 minutes for one hour. #19 buses no longer make stops along Michigan Avenue north of Randolph, but continue to make all stops on Madison from Wabash to Clinton. From Clinton, #19 buses run express to the United Center.
After each game, #19 buses will await customers on the north side of the United Center eastbound on Madison near Gate 3. On the return trip, #19 buses will operate east on Washington to Wacker, then head south to Monroe and east to Michigan, making all stops from Jefferson to Michigan before turning north on Michigan and making the final stop at Randolph.
