The first northbound Yellow Line train will depart Howard at 4:40 a.m., and the southbound service from Dempster-Skokie will start at 4:55 a.m. CTA said the new schedules will reduce wait times for riders, especially on weekends. It is intended to overall provide more frequent service for travelers. Additional service on the O’Hare Branch was specifically added to accommodate an increase in riders switching to the Blue Line to avoid construction traffic during the Kennedy Expressway Bridge Reconstruction project in collaboration with the Illinois Department of Transportation.
