The South Bend Public Transportation Corporation (TRANSPO) is once again offering direct bus service to and from all home Notre Dame football games, via the Stadium Express. This successful program is designed to provide one of the most convenient and time saving ways to attend a Notre Dame football game, with thousands of Notre Dame fans every year taking advantage of the affordable alternative to the traffic congestion and parking headaches often associated with home football games. The Stadium Express shuttle service begins operating approximately three hours before kickoff, picking up fans at pre-determined locations in South Bend and Mishawaka, and taking them directly to Notre Dame campus, near the bookstore. The shuttles will cycle continuously to and from the pick up locations, making as many trips as time and traffic will allow in the three-hour operating period before each game. Immediately following each game, the shuttles will board fans at the same location on campus, taking them back to their original boarding points. pick up locations for fans boarding the Stadium Express include:

�South Bend Regional Airport

�Studebaker National Museum

�TRANSPO�s South Bend Station

�The College Football Hall of Fame

�Washington & Main (downtown SB)

�Saint Mary�s College and St. Joseph HS)

�Town & Country Shopping Center

�University Park Mall area hotels

�Houlihan�s Restaurant in Mishawaka

The fare for Stadium Express is $4 each way, payable upon boarding, or just $3 each way with tickets purchased in advance. Those boarding the stadium Express at St. Mary�s College or Saint Joseph High School pay only $2 each way. More information about the Stadium Express shuttle service, fares, advance ticket purchases, or pick up locations, is available by calling TRANSPO Information at 233-2131 during normal weekday hours, and beginning at 8 a.m. on all home game days.
