Rail lines
Effective, Sun Mar 26
New Schedules in Effect
Beginning Sunday, March 26, updated schedules will go into effect for all rail lines.
We adjust schedules several times each year to help make service operate more efficiently and account for seasonal or changing ridership patterns. These changes are also part of a continuing schedule optimization
initiative to provide more consistent, reliable service and include improvements to better align with current workforce availability.
The following rail lines will have new schedules:
| Red Line |
Orange Line |
Purple Line |
| Green Line |
Blue Line* |
Purple Line Express |
| Pink Line |
Brown Line |
Yellow Line |
*Note: To provide added capacity using all available resources and to better meet demand among the busiest parts of the Blue Line, more scheduled service will run between O’Hare and UIC-Halsted, only. Riders on the Forest Park branch should check schedules, allow extra travel time, and be sure to check train destinations when boarding.
New timetable brochures are posted at transitchicago.com see Schedules or or call 1-888-YOUR-CTA to request a copy.
