Service would be provided 20 hours per weekday, with buses every ten minutes during daytime hours and every 30 minutes during the evening. Weekend service would be provided 18 hours per day, with buses every 15 minutes during service hours. Project Purpose: The project will provide fast, reliable, convenient transit service in a key corridor serving downtown Indianapolis. It will operate through the densest area of the city, which has among the most diverse land uses in the region. The route serves four major universities, several hospitals, government agency offices, other community services, and the new Downtown Transit Center, which offers transfer opportunities to numerous connecting bus routes.

  • Bus Rapid Transit Metroplanning.Org/Brt
    FACT SHEET Bus Rapid Transit metroplanning.org/brt What is bus rapid transit and how is it different from a regular bus? Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) provides commuters with a fast, affordable and easy way to travel. Regular buses compete with general traffic on congested roadways. This often causes delays and slow travel speeds. BRT is different as it offers the travel qualities of a rail system on a bus. While regular buses average nine miles per hour, BRT’s limited stops and dedicated lanes with signal priority allow vehicles to travel faster while largely avoiding street congestion. Sleek design and modern technology improve the customer’s experience at a much lower construction cost than rail. The most effective bus rapid transit systems include four critical elements, each of which offers a number of benefits for both transit riders and local communities: Dedicated Lanes Pay-Before-Boarding Stations Transportation: reduced boarding time, faster trips Community: permanence of stations sends positive signal to investors, iconic station design can reinforce community identity Bruce Fingerhood Transportation: faster trips; less traffic congestion; dependable, on-time service Community: more people connected to local destinations, fewer conflicts between modes Lucho Molina Signal Priority Level Boarding Transportation: faster trips, Transportation: reduced reduced bunching, safer travel boarding time, faster trips, more spacious buses Community: improved pedes- trian crossing signals and timing Community: greater acces- sibility to the elderly, people with disabilities, parents with strollers, etc. Aimee Gauthier Rob Wrenn FACT SHEET Bus Rapid Transit metroplanning.org/brt BRT in Chicago MPC’s report Bus Rapid Transit: Chicago’s New Route to Opportunity lays the groundwork for a 10-route BRT network in Chicago that would provide more equitable transit service to help people access jobs, shops, schools, hospitals, and other destinations across the city.
