In anticipation of forecasted freezing rain/snow and frigid temperatures in Northern Indiana, the South Shore Line plans to provide substitute bus service between South Bend and Michigan City Carroll Ave. beginning after 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6. The busing is scheduled to occur Saturday evening, and all day Sunday and Monday. Conditions will be re-evaluated on Monday, Feb. 8, to determine if service can resume Tuesday between South Bend/Carroll Ave.
In accordance with a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention federal order effective at 11:59pm ET on Feb. 1, 2021, the South Shore Line will continue to require masks or face coverings for all passengers and employees in stations and onboard our trains.
In addition to the CDC federal order, the SSL continues to abide by a State of Indiana Executive Order mandating the usage of masks that became effective Nov. 15, 2020. If a passenger is in need of a mask, the SSL will continue to provide masks free of charge. Passengers are reminded to maintain 6-feet of social distance from other individuals onboard all trains and at stations.
