Ways to commute to Bolingbrook to Kendall College in the lowest cost?

Branden Round: Pace has a Campus Connection pass ($175 per SEMESTER, pro-rated if purchased during the semester). You can include the cost in student loans or financial aid. You can use for Pace busses only, not the CTA. It is possible to get from Bolingbrook to Kendall College on Pace only, but it will be a very LONG commute. Use your UPass on the CTA instead of buying a transfer.The next cheapest way is to take one of the Pace Bus Routes (855 or 755) that travel on the Stevenson Expressway. The bus rides on the expressway shoulder when the speeds are less than 30 mph. These are Premium Pace routes which cost $4.00 each way. There is no monthly pass. You will need to pay the $2.25 difference if you have the Campus Connection pass.Pace Bus Route 855 starts in Plainfield and ends at Michigan and Superior. You will have to take another bus to get the rest of the way. You can use the UPass in Chicago instead of buying a transfer. You can board at one of the main stops or at ! posted stops along the way.

Rena Pepe: 755 Pace Bus Schedule

Bennie Lantgen: Can't you buy some sort of car? Because between taking Pace and taking Metra, it's going to cost you anyway and it's going to be extremely hard to be on time. Either find a room to rent or get a running but cheap car. (I think you would have to take a pace bus to the Metra, then take a city bus to school). Look at condo's to rent (with roommates).http://www.pacebus! .com/?ptype=TPhttp://tripsweb.rtachicago.com/goroo/index.htm...Show more
