Notes and references

Notes

  1. King Drive saw significantly higher ridership in 2013 due to added Green Line service to this station as part of the Dan Ryan branch reconstruction project.
  2. Due to possible double-counting of physically-connected stations, the CTA's official 2014 tally of stations was 145, but for ridership purposes reported having only 143 stations.
