South Shore Line Long-Term Busing Conclusion April 9, 2024

CHESTERTON, Ind. - March 25, 2024 - PRLog -- South Shore Line is pleased to announce the cessation of temporary busing between Gary Metro Center and Dune Park stations to be effective April 9, 2024.

Long-term temporary busing substitution between stations has been in effect since February
2022 in order to accommodate the Double Track NWI Project. The culmination of this work and completion of this segment allows for full revenue train service to return to all SSL stations on April 9, 2024.

"We sincerely appreciate passengers' patience and cooperation as we near the completion of
Double Track construction," said Michael Noland, President of South Shore Line. "Our commitment to convenient and reliable service for our riders has never wavered, and we invite everyone to participate in the grand opening of Double Track service in less than two months."

Train service will operate using the current schedule implemented in October 2023. All previously relocated station pick-up areas will be returned to their permanent locations, including the newly built Portage/Ogden Dunes and Miller stations.

Updates regarding the post-Double Track train schedule and addition of new trains are forthcoming. We sincerely appreciate passengers' patience and cooperation as we near the
completion of Double Track construction.
