Chicago Transit Authority
Chicago has a robust public transit system. The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) L trains service the entire city with a hub and spoke layout originating downtown - commonly referred to as "The Loop" - and radiating outward.
Blue Line trains run to and from O'Hare International Airport to the Loop. Similarly, the CTA Orange line runs between Midway International Airport and the Loop. Both Blue and Orange line trains stop at the Clark and Lake Station which is directly connected to the GFOA building.
A trip planner and information about routes and timing can be found at the CTA website: https://www.transitchicago.com/
