Back To Front Page

 

Alcohol will be prohibited on South Shore trains after 7 p.m. on Friday, July 10, during Taste of Chicago, and on all trains on Saturday and Sunday, July 11-12, the Northern Indiana Commuter Transportation District announced today.

The alcohol prohibitions will be in effect during Taste of Chicago.

Glass bottles, moreover, are never permitted on South Shore trains, NICTD added.

“As with all special event dates, passengers should anticipate an increased NICTD Transit Police presence during the Taste,” NICTD said. “Passengers should expect crowded conditions on most trains over the next several days of the Taste of Chicago.”

The South Shore will add cars to off-peak weekday trains when possible as well as provide some extra service where manpower and equipment are available.

It will also run an extra eastbound train on Saturday and Sunday, July 11-12.

The Saturday train will depart Millennium Station at 4:25 p.m. and Van Buren Street at 4:28 p.m. The Sunday train will depart Millenium Station at 6 p.m. and Van Buren at 6:03 p.m.

Both trains will run non-stop to Hegewisch, and make all stops terminating in Michigan City.

The extra trains will not serve Hudson Lake or South Bend.
