Getting From Champaign-Urbana to Home, Wherever Home May Be

Getting From Champaign-Urbana to Home, Wherever Home May Be When moving from your hometown to a new place, it is important to know you can get home if need be. The University of Illinois has many ways to get from home to school or school to home, no matter where your hometown is! Peoria Charter Bus The Peoria Charter is a bus service that goes from the Champaign-Urbana area to many different locations, including the OHare Airport and Chicago suburbs. As the name says, Peoria Charter goes to other campuses, as well, such as Illinois State. At around $35 for one way, Peoria Charter tends to run faster and get to destinations quicker than other services. Amtrak Train The Amtrak is often cheaper than taking the bus and offers a faster trip. Amtrak has a station in downtown Champaign and goes to popular large cities, such as Rockford or Chicago. While I have never personally taken the Amtrak, I have heard the train cars are spacious and have very nice restrooms. Catch a Ride Last but certainly not least, catching a ride with someone who lives near your hometown is always a great option. Catching a ride is quick and inexpensive, just be sure to offer to pitch in for gas!
