" Could you lease put a route to Ohare and MDW airport from Normal. That would be great. "

" Drop off at Chicago's Union Station (downtown, so GREAT for shopping); St. Louis drop off also at Union Station. "

" Megabus is a good transportation alternative that is perfect for college kids. I have taken Megabus from St Louis to Chicago before and it’s a good ride. Tickets can only be purchased on the internet so you’re going to need access to computer. Also, unlike Greyhound and Amtrak this bus doesn’t stop at every little town along the highway. (Sorry Pontiac, Springfield and Litchfield) "

" I'm wondering WHERE in St. Louis & Chicago will the bus drop me off? I'm not sure where the bus stations are in those cities. I'll check there website. "

" If you look at the timeline, it's not the best option. If you were to try and make a "day trip" out of this....to watch a baseball game or even go shopping, you don't have that option. The bus will not arrive in Chicago until 2:15 and the return bus leaves at 4:30? To even make it worth it (even for $1), you would likely have to stay overnight and dedicate two-days to your chicago adventure. The hotel will likely cost more than the gas it would have taken you and the parking (even downtown!). "
