South Shore Line
(http://www.nictd.com). Operated by the Northern Indiana Commuter Transit District. Offers regular electric rail service to/from downtown Chicago. Train trips take approx. 2 hours and 20 minutes and fares hover around $10 each way. Restrooms with running water, drinkable water taps and luggage racks are equipped on the train, and new double-decker trains are running which feature more comfortable, reclining seats which can be turned around to face other seats. Additional computer ports are also available on the new cars which only run between Michigan City, IN and Chicago until updated wiring is installed between South Bend and Michigan City. Also, a new route is planned in South Bend that will take 20-30 minutes off of the total trip time.
