I don't know how to use the train system. What is blue, purple, red, green lines? how do you use them? I will be using them to get to Depaul University, but I am kinda scared since I don't know how to use the train lines.

this should help: http://www.chicagoneighborhoods.cc/images/map_cta_train.gif

it seems the red, brown, and purple lines will go to de paul if you get off at Fullerton.

just get to any CTA train stop and you get get tickets on the train for $1.75 with free transfers between lines. if you're going to use the train often, i'm willing to bet depaul has a train pass similar to UIC, loyola, and northwestern. if not, the chicago card is handy.

CTA’s Rail System has seven branches, differentiated by colors (Red Line, Green Line, etc). For a detailed look at the Rail Map just click below. Check out Riding the CTA for more information about traveling on the 'L.'

Please look at the maps of the system at:

About how to arrive to the university, the station is Fullerton, you can use brown or red lines (purple only on peak hours).

I don´t know where you will take the train, so I suggest to plan the trip with the "CTA Travel planner" here:

Depending on where you are starting from, the Red and Brown lines will get you to DePaul (either campus). You can take the Purple line to the downtown campus, but only during rush hours (the Purple line runs express from Howard street to the Loop during rush hours only).

I in straightforward words lived in Chicago for a three hundred and sixty 5 days (I went to Loyola), yet i am going to target to assist. the distinct hues are distinct prepare lines. They bypass in distinct guidelines, yet i believe all of them meet on the Loop (downtown Chicago, close to Michigan Ave). i favor to say the only which is going to loyola (North) will also take you to DePaul. i recognize I handed it regularly. merely no longer confident how close the top is. that's both red or Brown. there are a large type of maps on the trains and subway. in case you ask a bum (there are lots), they could help. Many are pleasant, and could help you for some money. in spite of everything, you'll likely get an "L" bypass from you college, so it gained't value you something to holiday on the "L" (what Chicagoans call the prepare). So in case you wander off, it is going to in straightforward words value you time. hit upon some out-of-towners and hit upon.
