Suggestions for Public Transportation near Lakeview, Chicago

John H. • March 24, 2015Takes you along inner lakeshore drive to Belmont where it runs express to Michigan avenue, Wacker, State Street, and then Soldier Field. Quick way to a bears game or museum campus.

SAL E. • November 12, 2011Do not make eye contact with anyone to avoid the living theatre part of the ride.

David O. • March 25, 2018When its working, CTA redline is fastest and cheapest N/S public transportation. More reliable since major rebuilding of Central section, but rebuild of No section scheduled for next 4-5 years!

Jeffrey W. • June 8, 2010sexiest bus stop in town!

Tiffini • August 24, 2011I love them!

Ryan W. • November 2, 2012Best bus to get from Lakeview to the Loop financial district. Can get from Belmont to LaSalle/Wacker in 10-15 minutes in the morning.

Walgreens • June 17, 2011Wash your hands or use hand sanitizer after using public transportation. Especially during flu season. There’s a way to stay well.

Kim L. • March 11, 2011If you park in the public lot next to the library lot, be sure to pay the meter. It's a $50 fine and they're wicked quick about it.

Matt M. • March 28, 2011Don't expect seamless communication with the librarians!

Bryan S. • January 29, 2011Chicago Residents and Library members can check out a Shed Aquarium family pass for free. 4 people limit.

Monica O. • July 15, 2013I have been coming here ever since I can remember. I have mixed feelings about this branch though, the 2nd floor is the best. Lots have great audiobooks downstairs as well.

Aidan W. • May 20, 2013The people are friendly and they always have amazing online promotion

Jenny • July 7, 2012My go-to spot in the 'hood. I usually opt for non-Irish fare or the Mussels (only served Fri, Sat, Sun). Bloody Mary & Mimosa drink specials on the weekends. Added bonus if Chuy makes them!
