There aren't a lot of things I like about Chicago, but we've got a pretty damn good public transportation system up here. Personally have a mile drive to the train station, and from there a 40 minute train ride and a 10 minute bus ride - factor in waits/walking and it's about 1:20 door to door.
Just had a nice one-two punch of a rate increase and reduction in the cap for pre-tax fare purchases, and two or three times a year shit fails spectacularly, but overall it is still infinitely preferable to (and cheaper than) driving.
