If you’re visiting the Washington, D.C. area Nov. 14–15, Green Line trains from D.C. will end at Hyattsville Crossing. For the University of Maryland, use the free local shuttle from there to College Park–U of Md. For Greenbelt, there’s also a free express shuttle from Hyattsville Crossing. The express skips College Park.

The Silver Line still serves Dulles both days. WMATA says to expect 20 minutes between Silver Line trains during the weekend track work. If you’re taking the Blue Line from Reagan National, trains will end at Foggy Bottom–GWU.

If you’re visiting the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry or the Obama Presidential Center from downtown Chicago, CTA’s #10 express serves both year-round, including weekends. It runs from North Michigan Avenue through the Loop. The CTA route page lists the last northbound #10 at 6:10 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends. For a later return, check the #6 Jackson Park Express. It also serves both destinations and runs substantially later, but check the stop and departure for your date.

Going the other way, look for the pink LAX Shuttle sign on the lower arrivals level and board the Metro Connector Shuttle.
