Getting from downtown Chicago to O\u2019Hare International Airport in just 15 minutes would be possible in the near future. Today, plans have been revealed for the new O\u2019Hare Flyer train service from the Loop to ORD Airport \u2013 and it will transport you much faster than the Chicago Transit Authority\u2019s Blue Line service.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
O\u2019Hare Flyer Train to ORD in 15 minutes<\/strong><\/h3>\n
The upcoming faster way to get from ORD Terminal 2 to downtown is the new O\u2019Hare Flyer Express, a new-tech battery-electric train planned for $2.25 billion. To be running on dedicated tracks (using the existing freight rail rights-of-way), it would depart the Loop, a new downtown station in Chicago, every 15 minutes. The privately-funded project is at the development stage and will take off later in 2027 or early in 2028.<\/p>\nPC: ChatGPT (for illustration purpose only)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
