    i have been to Chicago many times and used to live in NYC… i’ve also used public transit in many other cities…
    door-to-door in 20 minutes is absolute fantasy… you’re not getting to the train station in 20 minutes… especially not from if you have to take a bus.
    oh and i used to live and work in manhattan and never pulled off a 20 minute door-to-door trip….

      its not hard to live close to an el station that is only a few stops down. its one reason wicker park is popular. granted you could do it with a bike to at that distance as well. bus to train works fine as well as its a bus that runs often. lived in bridgeport off halstead and did that.

          not sure what you mean but as for bridgeport it was 20 mins door to door downtown unless there was something wrong with the el for me and im sure wicker park could do likewise. 40 if you combine both commute there and commute back.
