<p>For those who haven't noticed, the reason it's so long because there's no direct line from O'Hare to Evanston. There's also no line to connect blue line and red line and they don't cross until they reach chicago downtown. It's not a web like the one in Paris. It's no big deal normally since red line is pretty much all you really need to explore Chicago but it's a hassle when you need to get to the airport.</p>
<p>Yeah. I heard they're talking about building a Circle Line, a Superloop of sorts, though I don't think it's going to come out to Evanston, so who knows how much help it'd be.</p>
<p>Anywho, there's also a bus from the Davis CTA stop to O'Hare which takes about an hour. Use <a href="http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/%5B/url%5D">http://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/</a> to plan your trip.</p>
