Bus to Chicago
All your friends at Busdog.com and Bus To Chicago thank all of you for a great first year servicing the Carbondale to Chicago market.
Have a great summer and we'll see you in August!
Because of summer charter season, round trips in the summer will be limited to weekends once a month.
Hello, and welcome to busdog.com. Here is how it all works.
The Bus to Chicago leaves Carbondale on 25 different Fridays each year. We depart at 2:15pm from Thompson Point, 2:30pm from Lot 45 between the Towers and the Rec Center. The bus arrives in Monee at 7:45pm and there may be a transfer for some passengers. The Chicago Direct at the inter-modal station on 95th and Dan Ryan by 8:30pm and Union Station by 9:00pm.
For NW Express passengers: Elmhurst Metra Station by 8:40pm and the Woodfield Mall by 9:15pm.
On the following Sunday or on the day that ends an extended weekend or holiday: the same buses depart the Woodfield Mall at 4:00pm and Union Station by 4:15pm return to the drop-off points to pick up the passengers left on the previous Friday (Elmhurst 4:30pm, 95/Dan Ryan 4:45pm) then continues to Carbondale, IL. The arrival time in Carbondale is approximately 10:45pm.
The price is always $69 for standard weekend trips to the Windy City, but if you buy 25 tickets or more, on the same bus you get even bigger savings!
Group sales might even work as a great fund-raiser for your organization or for yourself!
