I got peed on by a homeless person on the orange line once, in uniform.

Also, being in uniform used to be a benefit because you look vaguely cop like in the leather jacket without your flair on. Looking vaguely cop like is no longer a benefit.

God gawd. & to think I actually considered taking the train to & from ORD in the past. That pretty much seals the deal.

The cheap pilot in me hates having to pay for the Uber across town in either Chicago, Houston, or DFW, but every time I have done it, I have never regretted it. I probably do it in Houston once a month on average. DFW DART is really good, so I have only ubered once there when I was pressed for time. DART takes you right to the Burbank station and you can walk to the shuttle stop that takes you from the training center to the airport.

DFW Dart still smells like a urinal. Check the seat before you commit to sit.

Go one more stop after Burbank Station to the Love Field Station and there's a bus waiting at the bottom of the stairs to take you right to the terminal. Save you a few steps.

That Inwood station is sketch. I have done both, but I wouldn't do Inwood after dark.

Thanks guys. By the time I do the 25 minute drive to the airport, fly 30 minutes to ORD, and then go to MDW, it might be faster and easier to just drive the 3 hours
