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.
During South Shore Line’s (SSL) Teacher Appreciation Week, essay applications will be accepted from educators for a chance to win free field trip transportation for their class.
To thank local educators for their hard work, SSL created Teachers Appreciation Week, where educators are invited to ride the SSL for free from August 7- August 13, on all off-peak weekday and all weekend trains. To ride, educators will need to present a valid school ID.
In addition to free rides, SSL is offering teachers a chance to win free transportation for their class for a field trip!
