"The CTA Blue Line is a straight shot downtown with stops in River West at the six-corner intersections of Chicago/Milwaukee/Ogden and Grand/Milwaukee/Halsted. Taking the Blue Line down to the Chicago Loop will connect you to every other CTA train line, but taking it the opposite direction will get you to O'Hare International Airport and all points in between."
