IndyGo is asking for feedback on a five-year plan that aims to provide more reliable and frequent service that will operate 21 hours a day, seven days a week.

The draft future service plan includes a network redesign that would remove less-used routes and integrate rapid transit lines. It also aims to increase service frequency, with an emphasis on weekends. IndyGo also plans to extend crosstown routes to connect riders with grocery stores, medical facilities, colleges and retail locations.

Before restructuring routes, the transit agency aims to restore bus service to pre-pandemic levels. In the plan, IndyGo notes that “the sudden decrease in ridership in 2020 continues to have a direct impact on the agency’s ability to move forward with the implementation of the network redesign.”
