Geee, there are actually other live people on this list! I had been ready
to propose shutting it down due to inactivity, and the existance of other
resources (eg. the transp-l and transit lists). But I hadn't gotten around
to it yet - too busy.

As for O'Hare, I don't know Chicago well enough. If you are interested, I
suggest subscribing to the transit list and asking there. Someone will know.
