The branding kicked off today and will run through March 9, 2014. The special advertising is part of a cooperative program with Visit Florida.

Visit Florida provided the opportunity to wrap the interior walls of four train cars on the Chicago Blue Line that runs 24-hours, seven days a week. It takes passengers between O'Hare International airport and destinations in downtown Chicago through to neighborhoods in northwest Chicago. For more information, click here.
