Buses to/from Union Station & Ogilvie Transportation Center and Streeterville Medical Campus
CTA bus routes #120 and #121 provide fast, frequent and nearly direct weekday rush period service between Ogilvie and Union stations and the Streeterville area, including the Streeterville Medical Campus.
Buses start/end trips at either commuter rail station and make limited stops while also running express via Lower Wacker Drive for an even faster trip.
Both routes, from end-to-end, are about a 15 minute trip and run in both directions during both the AM and PM peak periods.

How to ride
Wait at a designated stop for your route for the next bus and be visible as the bus approaches if not at a terminal so the driver knows you want to board.
Some bus stops have live arrival information, but you can also easily find next arrivals at ctabustracker.com, in apps like the Ventra app or Google Maps or by following text instructions on the bus stop sign.
When approaching your stop, pull the stop cord (above the windows) or press a stop button on poles inside the bus to let the driver know you wish to exit.
How to pay
All CTA buses have farecard readers at the front of the bus and also take cash/coin. Pay as you board. View fare prices here.
If you buy Metra Monthly Tickets, consider adding a Regional Connect Pass for $30 to your Ventra Card in the Ventra App for unlimited CTA rides, too!
