1. are you taking Amtrak somewhere?
Why not take Metra into Union Station and leave your car somewhere in the burbs?

2. No, driving in from Milwaukee and taking MegaBus
to Pittsburgh.

The connection is 4 hours in between buses, and on the way back, there is no connection, so i want to drive down and leave my car there.

3. ALL downtown parking costs the earth.

I am certain there are lots around Union Station, though. Bring $$$.

On edit: What about dropping your car in Kenosha and taking Metra down to Chicago?
