Under the Marion County Transit Plan, every bus route would operate every day of the week. Currently, IndyGo operates fewer routes on Saturdays and even fewer on Sundays, and buses come less often on the weekend as well. This can be challenging for people who work, visit family, or go to worship on the weekends. When routes don't run, people without cars may not get where they need to go.
People without cars can experience major isolation without access to transit, making 15% fewer healthcare trips, 59% fewer shopping trips and restaurant visits, and 65% fewer trips for social, family, and religious activities than drivers do.*
The following image compares the current schedule with the Marion County Transit Plan's proposed schedule.
- A blank rows means that route does not run that day.
