Chicago to ORD today for a 6:30pm flight - is it better to take the blue line into the airport rather than Ubering it?

Yes. Uber could take you like 1.5 hrs. Blue line into the loop is less time, cheaper, and only moderately more hassle

Awesome, thanks!

The company will reimburse it so go for comfort and get the Uber

Oh in that case take the blue line, I usually pay $70+ when I Uber from ORD

Just remember, if there's an empty compartment, it isn't your lucky day.

Blue line will be faster and cheaper.
