PACE bus service adds lines to I-55 routes By Sherri Dauskurdas Staff Reporter

P

ublic transportation got another boost in service this week, as Pace expanded its highway shoulder routes from Will County to Chicago. A series of routes that began operating in November 2011 along the shoulder of I-55 during rush hour have been so successful that the transportation group has added buses to the existing service. The buses stop at park-and-ride lots located in Plainfield, Romeoville, Bolingbrook and Burr Ridge. The one-way fare is $4, and parking at the parkand-ride lots is free. Pace officials said the service transports more than 500 people each day to and from the suburbs. Pace’s 755 Route will add Union Station as a destination this week. It already made stops at the Illinois Medical District and the University of Illinois at Chicago.Three buses operate on the route. The 855 route, which had six buses headed to Chicago in the morning and returning in the evening, will add a seventh to both a.m. and p.m. routes. See PACE, page 3
