New! Weekend Service is now available for the Skokie Swift Yellow Line

Beginning Sunday, March 30, 2008 the CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) Skokie Swift Yellow Line added weekend service. The CTA expects that by adding the additional service, public transportation will become more convenient for those who work or shop in the area and also reduce traffic congestion. The additional weekend service will be evaluated after six months to determine if it will become permanent. The Skokie Swift Parking Lots will no longer be free on the weekends during the Skokie Swift Yellow Line's hours of operation. For $1.50, patrons may park in the Village's North Lot, which is located just north of Dempster Street and accessible from Gross Point Road. The South Lot parking costs $2.00 and is accessible from both Dempster Street and Niles Center Road. For more information contact the CTA at 888.YOURCTA or visit www.transitchicago.com.
