You probably have friends who do it. They let someone else handle the driving. Think about the advantages of using public transportation in Chicago and suburbs like Hermosa, IL. Combine those benefits with secure vehicle self storage at Safeguard, and it can all add up to a cheaper, safer way to navigate Chicagoland.
What Are the Advantages of Ditching the Car?
It's great to come and go on your own schedule. Driving a car gives you personal convenience. However, using Chicago's public transport system offers solid advantages over staying behind your own wheel.
• Say goodbye to commuter headaches because you're not driving through rush hour traffic.
• Statistically, you're less likely to be involved in an accident riding the bus or train.
• You save money on parking, gas, and tolls for roads, bridges and tunnels.
• The time you spend riding is also free time to spend on working, reading or just relaxing.
How Does Chicago's Public Transport Work?
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) makes it easy to catch a ride with different lines serving downtown and the suburbs. CTA also makes it easy to buy different public transport packages with its Ventra card.
An unlimited Ventra card pass works best if you plan on frequent rides with CTA. You can also buy single-rider cards good for up to 30 days. One-time ride tickets are always available, too.
If you decide to go with car storage and transition to commuting, CTA gives you plenty of public transportation choices. Chicago's L lines all converge on the Loop with free connections between stations. Metra train lines and more than 120 Pace bus routes cover the rest of the city and suburbs.
Is It OK to Park the Car in Self Storage?
Many drivers enjoy the best of both worlds by combining public transport with affordable storage for their cars. The arrangement moves you around town on CTA lines while you enjoy these car storage perks.
• The security of not leaving your car parked in an open lot or on the street
• Flexible leasing arrangements for short- or long-term storage
• Online management tools with convenient payment options
• Professional, on-site staff with answers to all your storage questions
