There are two shuttle bus routes that serve the Metra Stations.
Route 1: Ogilvie Station, Union Station, and Rush campus
The first bus leaves Ogilvie Transportation Center at 6:05 a.m., with subsequent buses leaving every 15 minutes until 9:35 a.m. Between 7:20 and 8:20 a.m., buses will run every 10 minutes. Next stop is Union Station, then Rush.

In the afternoon, the first bus leaves Rush at 3:05 p.m., with subsequent buses leaving every 15 minutes until 6:35 p.m. Between 4:20 and 5:20 p.m., the buses will run every 10 minutes.

Route 2: Millennium Park Station and Rush campus

The first bus leaves Millennium Park Station (South Water St. just east of Michigan Ave. in front of Jimmy Johns) on weekday mornings beginning at 6:30 a.m. The shuttle then proceeds to Rush and drops off at the Tower Entry Pavilion and returns to Millennium Park Station at 7 a.m. for the next pick-up. The shuttle will continue this route on the half-hour, with the last pick-up at Millennium Park Station at 10 a.m.

In the afternoon, the shuttle leaves the Rush Tower Entry Pavilion at 3:00 p.m. and drops off at S. Water St. (same spot as pick-up). This route continues every half-hour, with 6:30 p.m. as the last pick-up at Rush, arriving at Millennium Park Station by 7 p.m.
