Travel to Chicago Downtown from Schaumburg?

I need to travel to Millenium Park in Chicago downtown for work from Schaumburg. Can any one please suggest what would be the best way to reach there? Is there a direct train to Mellenium park from Schaumburg?

I take Metra and then get on the 151 bus which drops you off right across the street from Millennium Park.
