I never made it my $70 went in vain because they did not explain that the bus station on 95th and Dan Ryan close at 1:00 I couldn't print out my tickets and I could not get another ticket so that I could catch a later bus so I just lost out on my money which I end up being stuck at the dang on train station and did not have a way home so no I'm not satisfied
