Skokie Swift - Definition and Overview

Skokie Swift is a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) line running from the Howard Street terminal on the northern city limits of Chicago to Skokie station at Dempster Street in Skokie. Howard and Skokie are its only stops, though there is a possibility of the addition of some stops along the way, notably in Evanston, and the extension of the line to Old Orchard Mall in Skokie.

At Howard Street, Skokie Swift passengers can transfer to the Purple or Red Lines of the CTA. Skokie Swift is the only CTA line that does not go to Chicago's Loop.

Since the CTA lines were renamed, Skokie Swift is most often referred to as the Yellow Line.

Travel time along the Skokie Swift is eight minutes. Trains typically have two cars.
