Holiday Bus

Santa’s reindeer needed a Holiday break so the Village of Niles will help Santa this season by providing its first ever beautifully decorated Holiday Bus. The Holiday Bus will appear at the Holiday Tree Lighting on November 26th, but start its first route on November 29 around 8 a.m. as it drops Santa Clause at the Golf Mills Shopping Mall.

The idea of the Holiday Bus was adapted from the very successful and popular CTA “Holiday Train”. The Village of Niles partnered with Pace Suburban Bus to come up with this fun rendition. The free bus system, started in 1973, has served over 9,000,000 riders. The free bus system operates weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and weekends 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. 359 days a year.

Kids of all ages will enjoy riding in the specially decorated Holiday Bus where they will each receive a surprise. As always, the Niles Bus is free and will continue its regular routes. The Holiday Bus will rotate between current routes until Christmas. Make a ride on the Holiday Bus a new family tradition!
