• Metra shares details on South Side, south suburban service increase (chronicleillinois.com) — Metra is planning to boost Rock Island District service so trains between Chicago and the Tinley Park/Mokena area run at least every 30 minutes in a future phase, improving options for local commuters. Earlier schedule changes already added more off-peak and weekend trips, and officials say further upgrades depend on new rail infrastructure and expanded real-time information signs across the region.
