First time in Chicago…Shuttle or bus/uber?
Hey yall, I’m going solo to the festival and it’ll be my first time in Chicago as well. Been debating between using the shuttle vs bus/uber.
I’ll be staying at Hi Chicago so if I shuttle I’d likely take shuttle that leaves and drops me back at Jackson and Sangamon. Only thing I don’t like about the shuttle right now is that I have to choose my departure time now before set times are out (2p,4p, or 6p). Then on the way back after being dropped off I’d take an uber or walk 30 mins to my hostel (would the walk be safe at that time of night?)
Other option was to take a regular bus to the festival from my hostel (about an hour) and then on the way back, walk a mile or so and grab an uber or Lyft directly to my hostel. With this option i could leave when I want and go to the festival when I want. What’s the uber/lyft situation like if you walk a bit before trying to catch one when leaving ?
Any input or recommendations would be appreciated!
