Metra Expands Service for South Side

Metra’s big transit upgrade kicks in June 15th, adding more stops and frequency across key lines — Hyde Park gets hourly service to 51st, 55th, and 59th streets, plus express trains to 55th; new weekday/weekend stops at 79th, 87th, and 103rd; South Chicago branch gains extra evening and morning service; Blue Island branch runs hourly midday. All part of a regional push to connect South Side communities to jobs and landmarks like the Obama Presidential Center, backed by a new transit authority and sales tax funding — plus, Rock Island line now has fewer flag stops for smoother rides.
