There are a very few Metra lines that really accommodate any significant reverse commute and the Heritage Corridor would have a very hard time "selling" any sort of employer shuttle or Pace commuter bus route tie-ins with its spotty service.

While I do think that there are some folks that will benefit from the INBOUND Romeoville-to-Chicago service in the AM and outbound PM service that will be much better than bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Stevenson (although it might cut into the Pace shoulder riding service... Pace Bus) I would think they'd first need to get some interest in using the "reverse commute" for those express busses...
