Metra's new draft imagines all-day regional rail, trains running through Union Station, and better connections to O'Hare. That's a different way to move around Chicagoland.
The catch: the full vision needs roughly $9 billion and major upgrades. It's a proposal, not a new timetable. But this is worth paying attention to.
