How do I get from Chicago to Merrillville without a car?|195942

I am moving to Chicago in two weeks, and I need to get to Merrillville shortly thereafter to take an exam. I will not have a car. What_s the best way to get to Merrillville without a car. Is there a bus or train that goes out there?

if you can get transportation to and from gary or portage, you can ride the south shore line into downtown (randolph street station) and connect to other lines from there or from buses...dont take greyhound. here is a link to the south shore line stations

and for the CTA stations

Check the Greyhound website -

Chances are they do have a bus route that goes out there.

I would check with the South Shore RR
