Connecting You
to Your City

The Purple Line Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route brought crucial infrastructure improvements, economic growth and increased access to life’s essentials for Indianapolis residents BEFORE it even launched. Now that it’s in service, the line is introducing unparalleled connections between downtown Indy and the City of Lawrence. It’s also providing faster, more efficient and reliable transportation between neighborhoods, major employers, healthcare and educational facilities.

Read below to learn what to expect from the new system along the 38th Street and Post Road corridors.

Although many local bus stops went away along the corridor with the recent route changes, they’ve been replaced by enhanced station platforms, which are built for convenient and efficient transit service.

These stations include features like:

• Ticket vending machines that accept cash and credit/debit card payments, speeding up the boarding process.
• Digital screens, which display real-time arrival information for the next bus.
• Level station access in accordance with the American Disabilities Act.
• Well-lit boarding areas, security cameras and “blue-light” emergency phones.
• Covered platforms, providing better weather protection.

Additionally, with the introduction of the Purple Line, riders can walk along ADA–compliant sidewalks to reach their designated BRT station platform. Infrastructure improvements addressing the condition of the roadway, pedestrian facilities and drainage, along with new or upgraded traffic signals, also allow for safer travel when walking between destinations.
