O'Hare to Wrigley Field

Every way to get to Wrigley Field (Cubs), compared

CTA Blue Line, then Red Line

From Terminals 1, 2 and 3, follow the Trains to City signs through the pedestrian tunnels on the basement level; the walk from baggage claim takes under ten minutes. From Terminal 5, ride the free Airport Transit System to Terminal 2 first. Change to the Red Line at Jackson downtown and ride north to Addison, which is accessible. Your Blue Line train passes a station called Addison on the way into the city, and it isn't the ballpark stop. The CTA allows two free transfers within two hours on the same Ventra card, ticket, bank card or wallet.

CTA Blue Line, then the #152 Addison bus

Ride the Blue Line to Addison, at 3622 W. Addison St., and change to an eastbound #152 Addison bus. The #152 runs east along Addison Street and stops at Clark and Addison, at the ballpark. On game days extra #152 buses run as crowds warrant, from two hours before game time until one hour after the game ends.

Taxi

Taxis wait at the stand on the lower-level curb outside baggage claim at every terminal. Use the marked stand, and turn down rides offered outside it or on the departure level. The meter charges a $3.25 flag covering the first ninth of a mile, then $0.31 for each further ninth, plus a $4 airport departure tax. A $2.50 rush hour surcharge applies from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. and a $1.00 overnight surcharge from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Rideshare

Pickups are on the upper level: Terminal 2 at the orange poles 2A to 2G, Terminal 3 at the green poles 3G, 3H, 3J and 3K. The airport names no poles for Terminals 1 or 5. At the ballpark, rideshare apps use a geo-fence for pick-up and drop-off on game and event days. Pick-ups are on Addison Street between Broadway and Halsted Street, and on Irving Park Road between Clark Street and Seminary Avenue.
