The space suits a driver who wants a private off-street option rather than searching for curb parking near the station. A parking lot in Chicago is listed 2.9 miles away for $40 a day. A secure private parking space in Chicago's 60645 area is 3.3 miles away and costs $130 a month, making the monthly option more relevant to a regular driver who can manage the longer approach.
