Royal Excursion plans to promote the new service with discounts, including $10 one-way and $20 round-trip tickets between March 3 and 12. It will compete to fill the void the Indiana Airport Supersaver left behind with Lafayette-based Royal Express, which is now running a bus service from Hammond to O'Hare but does not have overnight parking or go to Midway. It has been growing, including by acquiring Fort Wayne-based Excursions Trailways. Royal Excursion has a fleet of 100 vehicles and 250 employees. #OHARE SHUTTIE TO MIDWAY UPDATE#"Royal Excursion will update our schedules as we are able to make agreements with these municipalities." "We continue to work through the proper channels to include Portage, Highland, Crestwood and other cities along this route," Kaser said. Royal Excursion hopes to eventually restore service to the pickup and drop-off points that Indiana Airport Supersaver previously used, but is still working through the logistics. Initially, the bus service will have stops at the South Bend International Airport, the University of Notre Dame, Michigan City, Valparaiso, Griffith, Chicago Midway International Airport and Chicago O'Hare International Airport. "I am proud to say Royal Excursion will continue to service this line, which has been vital to our community for so long." "We are excited to open service along the Northwest Indiana - Chicago route, and we would like to thank our customers for their patience as we worked tirelessly to earn all of the necessary approvals in a very short time," Royal Excursion Founder and President Shannon Kaser said. Mishawaka-based Royal Excursion, which bills itself as "the leading charter bus and luxury transportation provider in the Midwest," will launch a new bus line offering round-trip travel from Northwest Indiana to Chicago's airports and Notre Dame football in South Bend. The Indiana Airport Supersaver bus service ceased at the end of last year, but a new company will roll out shuttle buses between Northwest Indiana and Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports starting March 3.
