To accommodate passengers attending the Chicago Bears vs. 49ers home game at noon on Sunday, Oct. 31, 2021, the South Shore Line plans to stop select trains at Metra’s 18th Street Station, which connects passengers directly to the Soldier Field entrance via a pedestrian walkway.
The South Shore Line is scheduled to provide extra train service for the Notre Dame vs. North Carolina football game on Oct. 30, with South Bend Transpo offering free shuttle bus service between the South Bend International Airport and Notre Dame Stadium.
Passengers are advised that the South Shore Line’s Bikes on Trains program terminates for the season at the end of the day on Sunday, Oct. 31, 2021. We look forward to resuming the Bikes on Trains program beginning April 1, 2022. The SSL thanks all passengers for a successful bike season.
With the continued increase in travelers and commuters returning to activities and work in Chicago, the South Shore Line announces an extension of its current Weekday Eastbound Free Ride promotion.

The South Shore Line plans to bus midday passengers between Gary/Chicago Airport (Clark Rd) and Dune Park stations, effective Monday, Oct. 25 through Wednesday, Oct. 27. The busing is due to third-party utility work related to the Double Track NWI project (https://www.doubletrack-nwi.com/).
