The Gary Public Transportation Corporation (GPTC) is beginning to renovate the Gary Metro Center. As part of this work we were required to temporarily remove our Ticket Vending Machines located on the 2nd floor of the Metro Center. We encourage South Shore passengers to use our convenient smartphone app as an easy to use alternative until the TVMs are reinstalled. Passengers may also pay with cash ONLY on the train.
