In partnership with the National Park Service and the Dunes Learning Center, the South Shore Line’s (SSL) free shuttle bus service to Miller beaches will resume Memorial Day weekend.
Beginning Saturday, May 27, the Dune Buggy Beach Shuttle will resume service for the third consecutive year from the SSL’s Miller station. It will be free of charge to SSL riders and will provide quick, easy access to Lake Street Beach, Marquette Park and Beach, and the Douglas Center.
“We are very excited to be offering this free service to our riders for another season,” said Nicole Barker, Director of Capital Investment and Implementation at South Shore Line. “Northwest Indiana has some amazing beaches, and this shuttle provides people from Chicago to South Bend a convenient way to enjoy an escape right in their own backyard.”
The shuttle service will run from 10am-6pm every Saturday and Sunday throughout the summer and on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day. And, with kids 13 years of age and under riding free on all weekend trains, fun in the sun has never been more affordable.
