It has been confusing as South Shore Allows bikes on at some stations but not off at other stations and customer service is less the helpfull. Planning on trip to Portage IN and on to Michigan City which for some odd reason does not alow bikes

Planning on trip to Portage IN and on to Michigan City which for some odd reason does not alow bikesThe reason is that because the stations that they only allow bikes at are High-Level platform stations they will not let bikes allow to board and deboard at Low-level platform stations because only certain doors are used at low-level stations where high-level stations all doors including the center doors on the single level trains will open.
Plus right now because of the double track project bikes are only allowed between East Chicago and Downtown Chicago for the time being as Gary Metro is a Low-Level platform Station and East Chicago is a High-Level platform station. Trains only operate between Gary and Chicago and Michigan City and South Bend and in between is replaced by shuttle buses and bikes are not allowed on the shuttle buses and trains between Michigan City and South Bend.
