Pulaski is a station on the Chicago Transit Authority's 'L' system, serving the Pink Line and the North Lawndale neighborhood.

Notes

  1. Due to possible double-counting of physically-connected stations, the CTA's official 2015 tally of stations was 146, but for ridership purposes reported having only 143 stations.
