Metra is adding service on three lines beginning Monday to accommodate increased ridership as more people return to the city for work and for pleasure.
Trains will be added the BNSF, Milwaukee District North and North Central Service lines.
“We are beginning to see an uptick in ridership and as promised, we are listening to our customers and the region’s employers to bring back service in ways that meet their needs,” said Metra CEO Jim Derwinski.
On the BNSF Line between Union Station and Aurora, Metra is adding two morning inbound trains, one morning outbound train, and one outbound train in the early afternoon to accommodate early travelers before rush hour. The schedules of two trains, Train 9406 and Train 9408, will be adjusted.
