TRANSPORTATION RIDE OPTIONS

RECENT TRANSIT PROJECTS

INTRASTATE BUS SERVICE
A $2 million federal grant will be used to revive abandoned and unprofitable intercity bus routes in Indiana next year, including runs from Indianapolis to Muncie, Bloomington and South Bend.

Those most likely to benefit are college students with limited funds and no automobiles living far from home; the elderly, who have less ability or desire to drive; the disabled; and low-income residents who don't own a car.

The Indianapolis-Muncie route will stop in Yorktown, Chesterfield, Anderson, Pendleton, Ingalls, Fortville, McCordsville, Oaklandon and Post Road. INDOT officials say final fares are not yet available.
