Transportation to and from Union Pier!

Please, if you have a ride to share or want to get a carpool ride to Gintaras, post to the forum page or look for someone to link up with there. Post your flight info here as well!

We suggest coordinating flights and then renting a car at the airport with some other folks, because then you can drive directly instead of coming into the city.

Otherwise you can take buses or trains:

BUS:

For bus from airport, Coach USA to Michigan City, IN. Leaves hourly, and takes two hours. Should double check with them by phone for your departure time. Buses from O’Hare. Buses from Midway.
From Michigan City, someone can drive down to pick you up … best to post to the message board your arrival time, and coordinate.

TRAIN:

For train, Amtrak goes from Union Station, Chicago to New Buffalo, MI. Trip time is 1 hour 15 minutes, but only goes a few times per day. New Buffalo is only 10 minutes drive away, so easy to pick up from there.
