Lake States Transit > Chicago
CTA or The  'L'

The Loop

Chicago is home to the famous "L". The CTA also operates two subway lines thru city center. The Loop is my favorite part of the system with up to 5 routes circling the downtown elevated structure. Tower 18 is the best level junction train watching spot for the transit fan!
