A commute worth taking
Rich Pier, 55, takes the westbound BNSF and exits at the Naperville stop. Living in Chicago and working here, Pier is known as a reverse commuter. In his case, he treks from his South Loop home to the Metra station, rides the train, then walks 15 minutes to his job at the Naperville Tennis Club. In spite of some striking differences, the experience of taking the train to Naperville is much like taking it away.
