This Saturday afternoon, I'm taking the Metra Electric from Flossmoor and need to get off at 95th. As per the schedule, it says I need to request a discharge for 95th/Chicago State (* - Stops only on request to discharge passengers 111th St. to 63rd St.). So who do I make this request to? The ticket taker in the car? There's no cable to pull a la bus, right? I haven't been on a Metra train in at least 9 years, and when I was, I always was riding 'til the end of the line, or a regularly scheduled stop. Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

The "motor man / conductor" at the front of the train is in charge of making sure that the doors don't close on somebody and that is also the person you need to let know that you want to get off at 95th/State...

I'd assume that if talk to the conductor/ticket taker, they can arrange for the stop.

You should see a conductor or two standing outside the train in the station as you board. I'd ask the first one I see before departure.
