Travelers hitting up O'Hare International Airport will need to steer their baggage to a new spot if they're banking on courtesy shuttles. Starting February 1st, all hotel and off-airport parking shuttles will be rounding up passengers at Terminal 2. This move marks the end of the shuttle operations at the old Bus Shuttle Center, the Chicago Department of Aviation announced.
If you've grown accustomed to the current hustle at the Bus Shuttle Center, be ready to change course. The courtesies of a friendly pickup will now occur at Terminal 2 Lower-Level Arrivals, right on the curbside. An official statement from the department specified, "Signs will be posted at the Bus Shuttle Center to direct passengers and employees to Terminal 2 for shuttle pick-ups, and signage for shuttle pick-ups throughout the terminals will be updated to reflect the move."
Bus aficionados should note that regional buses have their own exclusive digs. These will continue to swoop passengers from the Multi-Modal Facility, a separate hub free of the shuffle moving to Terminal 2. For those who rely on hotels for their commute to the airport's embrace, some shuttles will maintain a presence at Terminal 5 for both passengers and flight crews, as confirmed by the department. It's a good idea for travelers to get in touch with their hotels directly for the skinny on Terminal 5 pickups.
