How to get to Chicago from NIU?

Question

Hey I'm not sure where to ask this, but how would I get to Chicago from NIU located in Dekalb, by using public trasnportation. I looked at the metra site and the closest stop is 4 towns over because it doesn't go all the way to Dekalb but the tracks run through dekalb. So how do I get to chicago with public transportation?

Answer 1

Check with NIU for transportation to the train station. Some colleges will provide a way there

Answer 2

Greyhound bus still operates from DeKalb.  The depot is on Lincoln Hwy.  Call the local # below for info:

815-756-8658

According to the Greyhound site there is only 1 bus to Chgo:

  

02:30pm >>> 04:20pm   1h, 50m   0   GLI   5932
