Public Transportation:

The PACE bus system route 250 runs between O'Hare Airport and Evanston's Davis El Station. Total travel time between the airport and the Davis stop is a little over 1 hour. This bus costs approximately $1.75 and runs every half-hour during most of the day. A detailed schedule and additional information about the exact stop locations can be found on the PACE website.

The "El" is Chicago's rapid transit system that serves the greater Chicago area. The Evanston stops on the "El" closest to Kellogg are the Davis and Foster stops of the Purple Line. However, taking the "El" from the airport can take approximately 1.5 hours including transfers. Please visit the Chicago Transit Authority website, www.transitchicago.com, to plan your trip.
