I used the Milwaukee West Elgin line to get to and from the Lollapalooza every day last weekend. The trains tended to run 15 min. late and standing room only. However this was a very efficient system and I was glad to have it. Metra seemed to do a better job with the passenger load than SEPTA does in Philadelphia on many a regular event. Double round trip fare for $5 on the Metra (lasting both days of the weekend!) could not be beat... it's a wonder why anyone would drive downtown.
