The results speak for themselves.” Pictured, left to right, are Lewis Coaches' representatives Chad Lewis, Barbara Lewis, Harold Lewis Sr., and Harold Lewis Jr. By Harrell Kerkhoff Busline Magazine Editor our generations of family involvement has led Lewis Coaches, Inc., to nearly 60 years of providing successful transportation services, first in the school bus segment, and later charter and tour work. Due to the Lewis Ffamily’s history of hard work and dedication directed toward its customer base, the company has been able to expand its service region over the years, from primarily its hometown of New Orleans, LA, to many loca- tions throughout the southeastern part of the United States. “According to my calculations, anywhere from 65 to 75 percent of our business stems from repeat customers.

  • Welcome to the South Shore Line (SSL) Commuter Rail Service Serving Northwest Indiana and Northeast Illinois
    ! Welcome to the South Shore Line (SSL) commuter rail service serving Northwest Indiana and Northeast Illinois. The SSL serves a total of 19 stations, of which 13 are wheelchair-accessible. On weekdays the SSL runs 43 trains, and on weekends and holidays it runs 20 trains. South Bend Airport The South Bend Airport is the easternmost station along the South Shore Line. The boarding platform is a high-level platform allowing for wheelchair accessibility. There is a ticket agent at this station with limited availability (Fridays 6:05 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. and weekends 6:05 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.). Ticket vending machines are available to the north of the ticket agent windows. Paid parking is available through the South Bend Airport. South Bend Transpo bus service provides additional stops at the South Bend Airport at the opposite end of the terminal from the South Shore Line station for those needing connecting service. Click here for Transpo routes and fares. Additional bus/taxi services can be found by clicking here. Hudson Lake The Hudson Lake Station is a low-level boarding station and is therefore not wheelchair- accessible. This is a flag stop station so a button must be pressed (5 minutes before departure time) to activate the strobe light that would indicate to trains to stop for passenger pickup. Passengers who wish to depart the train at this station should notify their conductor at the time they are collecting tickets. There are no ticket vending machines available to purchase tickets at this station so tickets must be purchased on the app or with cash from a conductor.

Welcome to Notre Dame Law School! On behalf of the Notre Dame Law School student body, we are thrilled to be among the first to welcome you to the NDLS Community! We know that this is an exciting time for you and — if you are anything like we were just a couple of years ago — you probably have plenty of questions about law school and Notre Dame, whether it’s about academics, professors, student life, or just where to get a good dinner. That’s why we’ve prepared the Guide. This is called an Insider’s Guide because it has been written by students. Over the past year, we’ve updated and revised old sections, compiled and created new ones, and edited and re- edited the whole book in hopes of making your transition to Notre Dame easier. This isn’t a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know to get through law school or thrive in South Bend, but it is a great place to start.
