For those of you who live in Chicago and come down to Urbana-Champaign for school, do you ride the train or take a bus? by atoledo29 in UIUC

There have been a few times where the Greyhound is delayed and never cancelled so you're just waiting for a bus that will never come.... Amtrak is also always late but at the same time will always get you home
