Midway Airport
River Valley Metro has a shuttle that services Midway Airport. And, the fare is only $2 each way! Use this shuttle for your travel needs to the airport and downtown Chicago. With the bus stop just outside Door 6 at baggage claim it is easy access to the airport and is a short walk to the CTA bus and train station. Reservations are not required to take the shuttle.
Road construction and weather sometimes cause unavoidable traffic back-ups on the interstate highways and on Cicero. Whenever possible, we detour our Midway buses around these back-ups, but we can still get behind schedule. When this happens, please call our Dispatch office to get an expected arrival time for your bus. The number is 815-937-4287.
Access to our Midway shuttle from the airport is very quick and easy. Click HERE to view a video that explains what to look for at Midway Airport. If the video does not display in your browser, click HERE to view the video on Facebook.
Be sure to plan your arrival at Midway Airport to allow ample time for deboarding the plane and claiming any luggage. The Midway bus runs on a tight schedule and we are unable to hold a bus for you without effecting future trips that day, disrupting other passenger’s plans. Thank you for understanding.
