69th is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Red Line. The station is located within the Greater Grand Crossing neighborhood. This station connects with the second most bus routes (first is 95th/Dan Ryan) on the Dan Ryan Branch, and is one of the terminals for the N5 South Shore Night Bus (the other is 95th/Dan Ryan). This makes it an important connection for buses, especially Night Owl connections.

69th was closed from May to October 2013 as part of the Red Line South Reconstruction project.[2]

Notes

  1. Due to possible double-counting of physically-connected stations, the CTA's official 2015 tally of stations was 146, but for ridership purposes reported having only 143 stations.
