The recent storm on Tuesday caused widespread disruptions in Northwest Indiana, impacting public transportation significantly.
Service Suspensions and Delays
Gary Public Transportation Corp. announced a complete suspension of services for Wednesday. This includes the Access219 paratransit service.
The Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District will operate the South Shore Line on a reduced schedule. Passengers should anticipate major delays and longer travel times as crews work on repairing weather-related damages and restoring power along the routes. The organization also warned of possible additional cancellations.
Limited Services Offered
Limited shuttle service will be available between Hammond Gateway and Munster/Dyer on the Monon Corridor. According to the railroad, this does not reflect the normal operation of the South Shore Line. For updates and the special train schedule, riders should visit mysouthshoreline.com/news/.
