History
The station at 95th/Dan Ryan commenced operations on September 28, 1969, as a segment of the Dan Ryan branch and has undergone significant improvements since its opening. Originally designated as 95th, it was renamed to 95/Dan Ryan in the mid-1990s before adopting its current name, 95th/Dan Ryan. Key upgrades have included the installation of an elevator between 2000 and 2001 and refurbishment of the bus terminal in 2003. The most comprehensive redevelopment took place from 2014 until 2019, bringing the facility up to modern standards.
After completing the Red Line South Reconstruction in October 2013, CTA initiated a $240 million renovation project for the 95th/Dan Ryan terminal beginning September 22, 2014. This extensive overhaul concluded on April 27, 2019, introducing a new Red Line platform located beneath the South Terminal, which was repurposed into a pedestrian corridor. Improvements incorporated a pedestrian bridge connecting the North and South Terminals, six access points (four on the North side and two on the South), multiple customer service booths, escalators, elevators, stairways, additional fare gates equipped with Ventra card readers, expanded bicycle parking facilities, enhanced security camera coverage, and enlarged bus boarding zones.
