Soldier Field Express
Pace provides a limited number buses at each of the boarding locations for service on the Soldier Field Express and riders are seated on a first-come-first-served basis.
Pace will provide 3 buses at the Northwest Transit Center in Schaumburg, 2 buses at the Bolingbrook & Burr Ridge Park-n-Rides, 1 bus at the Palos Heights & Oak Lawn Metra Park-n-Rides and 1 bus at the Hillside Park-n-Ride.
All passengers are strongly encouraged to arrive early at all boarding locations, as buses begin boarding up to 30 minutes before departure time. If all seats are filled on all buses, additional passengers can board but must stand during the ride in either or both directions. Pace may not be able to accommodate everyone who wants to ride, and at the driver’s discretion, may deny boarding after a bus is deemed full. Pace apologizes for any inconvenience this could cause.
