When the coronavirus pandemic slowed travel, the company had pulled back to five daily round trips. It eventually grew back up to a dozen trips daily from Madison to Chicago with a stop in Rockford.

“The 17 new trips are exclusively between Rockford and O’Hare, which makes for a better travel experience for customers from Rockford,” a company spokesperson said in an email.
