Commuting in Chicago

In a city like Chicago, your commute to work is a huge factor when looking at potential homes or apartments. Potential homebuyers and apartment renters are always asking where the nearest CTA stop is and what their potential public transit options are from a particular listing.

Fortunately, there’s a site that can help answer a lot of those questions. Transitized features a number of interactive graphics and maps that help explain how to navigate Chicago. A popular infographic for those looking at listings throughout the city would be the Chicago Commute Mode Map.

The map shows how residents in Chicago’s neighborhoods commute to and from work. Transitized color codes each neighborhood based on what’s the most popular commute within that area. To no surprise, neighborhoods like the West Loop and Gold Coast are heavily populated with train riders. But, the map may have some figures that open your eyes.

If you are looking to visualize your commute even more, the CTA offers full-length videos of various trains on their complete routes. Check out the Red Line commute below.
