Streetwise Chicago Bus, CTA & Metra Map - Laminated Chicago Metro Map - Folding pocket & wallet size metro map for travel Map – Folded Map, December 27, 2006

It feels almost silly to criticize an item so inexpensive, but the stickler in me has to point out this doesn't fold to wallet size as the page title and description claims. It certainly fits in a pocket, but you can't place it in a wallet slot like you would a photo or credit card. And once folded, the laminate stays creased so it's almost better just to leave it in the original 'envelope' dimensions. For a two day Chicago trip, this will be somewhat helpful. Anyone new to town and looking to learn the system would be best advised to look elsewhere. You can either have a comprehensive but larger map or just the highlights on a smaller one. Since this falls into the latter, why not allow a person to truly fold it? Oh, and unless you're already a public transportation genius, forget about relying on this for BUS help. Just don't. The CTA is just too complex for this sort of 'guide'.

Small, compact, and laminated map that folds and fits in a shirt pocket. I bought this mainly to navigate the "L" and it works for that purpose. The other side of the map has city streets and bus routes, and can be confusing and hard to read given the small size.

I wish the print was larger to read. I do like that it is laminated. Can't wait to go back to Chicago to use it.

Really perfect to take along; better than flimsy paper maps... Although I lived near Chicago growing up, I have been away for many years, and this helps the gaps in the memory, not to mention all the changes in the City. Plastic coated, so it won't get rained on, dripped coffee on, nor torn by sweaty palms. I keep this in my car all the time now.

Just ok. Kind of small.

Too hard to read this plan and understand where you can go with it. They have better ones. I thought I'd like the portability, but it was too hard to read and plan with.

It is very helpful for when you want to get around Chicago but so small I had to use a magnify glass with my glasses.

Prepping to use mass transit prior to travel is tricky for me but the Streetwise folks make as easy as possible - handy guide. Highly recommend this.

Arrivé à temps. Essentiel si l'on compte prendre les transports en commun à Chicago (ce que je recommande).
