Let me second that (I'm from Chicago).  It's a pretty easy trip  
(though crowded at rush hour), and the payment is *way* less confusing  
then BART. Personally, I prefer flying from Midway (even though I live  
closer to O'hare) - it's smaller & more manageable/pleasant than ORD  
(which is HUGE).
