Buses on the #29 State, #56 Milwaukee, #65 Grand and #66 Chicago routes serve Navy Pier throughout the week, and on Saturdays and Sundays CTA will run its #124 Navy Pier Express buses to the Pier directly from Union Station and the Ogilvie Transportation Center (North Western Station).

On both weekends of the show, fully accessible #124 Navy Pier Express buses will start their trips from Union Station northbound on Canal at Adams. The buses stop for the Ogilvie Center on Canal at Madison and at Washington before running express to Navy Pier. Return trips from Navy Pier also run express to both stations.
#124 service will begin at 9:15 a.m. on Saturdays, and at 10:15 a.m. on Sundays. The buses will operate every 15 minutes, with the last trip from Navy Pier starting 15 minutes after the show closes.
