IndyGo Capital Plan Items of Interest

By zach No comments

I don’t even remember why I went to the IndyGo site, but I was there today and saw that they have a link to their 2019-2025 Capital Plan that was approved in August of 2019. Being the transit nerd that I am, I read through most of it and found some things that I think […]

Thoughts on Proposed IndyGo 2020 Improvements

By zach No comments

As you may already know, IndyGo is rolling out more route improvements in mid-2020. These will come in the form of transitioning to a more grid based network, as well as an increase in frequency on many routes.

A Sunday ago, we decided to mix things up a bit compared to our normal Sunday Funday. While we visited one of our old favorites, we also went to a new place and then ended up the day at two other favorites. Read on to get a slightly different trip than we normally have.

Day Into Night Trip Through Fountain Square and Garfield Park

By zach No comments

As has been the case with our trips on the Red Line, we ended up taking a trip to the South side of the city. I’d say this is mostly due in part to us liking a lot of places down there, but not really having the desire to drive, nor take a ride share […]

There was a not unexpected large increase overall in September of 21.47%. This is due in […]

One of the things that I want to do on this site is highlight how a rapid/frequent transit line can make a big difference in spending time in parts of the city you may not normally frequent. Part of that will be doing things like the Brewery Tour. I’ve also decided to highlight some of […]

Brewery Tour from DTC to Broad Ripple

By zach No comments

This is the first in a series of “tours” that you can take along the Red Line. It will really come down to what I’m feeling at the time. One of the great things is that there is so much along the way that is within walking distance or easy transfer to a local bus […]
