The Blue Line will be the third bus rapid transit corridor in the city.
The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IndyGo) received a $149.9 million grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) to support the construction of a new bus rapid transit (BRT) line that could reduce travel times along its corridor by up to 30 percent.
As David Gay reports for Fox 59, “Officials said the 24-mile project will ‘provide fast and frequent public transportation’ for one of the main east-west travel corridors in Marion County.” The line will run 20 hours per weekday to 30 stations.
The Blue Line will be the third and final planned BRT route in the city along with the Purple and Red lines, said IndyGo President Jennifer Pyrz. The total cost of the project is an estimated $396 million and is scheduled for completion in late 2028.
