The ORD Thursday night rideshare and traffic situation is a nightmare. Landed an hour ago and still sitting in gridlock in front of terminal 3. Going to start taking the Blue Line to Rosemont to avoid

For the past 2 months, when I requested an Uber at around 8pm, it takes so long before they even start moving towards you that I give up. I think it’s so saturated with Uber’s now that the system just stops working on Thursday nights.

OP, don’t take city cabs my friend. There’s a separate area for suburban cabs. I’ve used American Taxi for as far back as I can remember. Halfway decent app, you get a free ride every 8th airport ride. I’ve waited max 15-20 minutes after landing to get into a cab

Blue line is the best option. I alternate weeks, one week I’ll stay later on Thursday’s and one week I’ll leave early. Try to avoid the 3-7pm at ohare

My friends couldn’t believe me when I moved to LA and said the traffic was easier than Chicago. When I lived in Lakeview I would take the Blue Line to Addison and then an Uber over to the lake. Otherwise it would take an hour and a half

Take a cab. Never a line and there just sitting there waiting for you. Plus, way cleaner and better than Uber

The issue is that there is a huge clog at the exit of the Uber/lyft waiting lot where all of the drivers stay at until they are called. I think the exit is so small that it just becomes like a clogged artery every Thursday night and no one can get out efficiently

How are others dealing with this? Not traveling home on Thursdays 😂

Why don’t you take a cab? The line takes 5 min max 😂

SM1 it’s time and a half to the burbs, I’ve had to do it before but avoid since it’s $100 compared to a $45 Lyft

Cabs are more expensive then taking an Uber Select for me and Uber Selects are way cleaner

I experienced the same thing last night for the first time. That was worse than leaving a major event. Is there typically a wait at Rosemont?

Trick was to come home on Wednesday night, going to be doing this more often 😉 good luck tomorrow everyone

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
