Orland Park Transportation Guide

Orland Park Transportation Guide

Quick answer: Orland Park is our home base, so we run vehicles through it constantly — to Orland Square Mall, to any of the three Metra SouthWest Service stations in town, and out to O’Hare and Midway. We’re licensed, fully insured, dispatching 24 hours a day, with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees. Our fleet runs from sedans through 57-passenger coaches. Terms are on the pricing page and the FAQ.

Orland Park is bigger than its neighbors, and it shows in the traffic

With roughly 58,700 residents, Orland Park is the commercial anchor of the south suburbs, not just another bedroom community. Orland Square Mall alone draws from a trade area of about 250,000 people within five miles, which means La Grange Road and the streets feeding it carry retail and commuter traffic well beyond what the town’s own population would suggest. Weekend evenings and the holiday shopping season are the two windows where that traffic matters most for a scheduled pickup.

Three Metra stations, three different profiles

Orland Park is unusual for the south suburbs in having three stations on Metra’s SouthWest Service line, and they’re not interchangeable. 143rd Street/Orland Park sits closest to Union Station at 23 miles out, is the busiest of the three at around 591 average weekday boardings, and is recognized as the anchor of Orland Park’s own downtown. 153rd Street/Orland Park, about 25.2 miles out, is the only one of the three besides Union Station where tickets are sold in person. 179th Street/Orland Park, the furthest at 28.7 miles, was actually the line’s southern terminus until it was extended toward New Lenox and Manhattan in 2006 — it’s the quietest of the three, at roughly 208 average weekday boardings. All three sit in Metra fare zone 4, one zone further out than Oak Forest’s zone 3 station. See our Oak Forest Transportation Guide for how that comparison plays out for a neighboring city.

Orland Square Mall and the La Grange Road corridor

Orland Square, at 151st Street and La Grange Road, has anchored this corridor since 1976 and remains the largest mall in the Chicago southwest suburbs at over 1.2 million square feet. It draws shoppers from well beyond Orland Park itself — Tinley Park, Homer Glen, Frankfort, Mokena — which means a pickup or drop-off near the mall, especially on a weekend or during a holiday shopping stretch, benefits from a chauffeur who already knows the traffic pattern rather than one navigating it for the first time.
