On The Beat Industry News In Brief

IndyGo’s “Green Line/Airport Express” will screech its way to four additional downtown hotel destinations.

The expanded service shuttling air travelers and airport workers to and from Indianapolis International Airport began Feb. 3, to the newly opened Fairfield Inn & Suites at West and Washington streets.

Others include the Courtyard by Marriott and Spring Hill Suites, both starting Feb. 18.

IndyGo also plans a stop at the JW Marriott, which is still under construction, in February 2011. All four hotels are part of the new Marriott Place complex.

Frequency is every 20 minutes, with the trip between downtown and the airport taking about as long.

A number of such specialty routes, including commuter service to Hamilton County, are made possible by federal grants.

The city’s locally underfunded bus service, meanwhile, is reducing and adjusting other routes as part of a need to cut operating expenses $500,000. Details are available at IndyGo.net.

    IndyGo's Green Line Airport Express service is also funded by a federal grant (along with the Carmel and Fishers ICE routes). It is not operating as part of IndyGo's budget. The one new Green Line stop at Washington and West streets is serving all four new hotels in the JW Marriott Complex. The stop became effective on Feb 14. Five local service routes are being adjusted due to IndyGo receiving less income from proerty taxes and state mass transportation funds. Other adjustments are part of the company's normal adjustment of service based on use.

  1. These higher rates Co. e about only because physicians are now hospital employees. otherwise physicians couldn't charge these rates and share the windfall with the hospital. Community/rural hospitals probably not buying physicians practices and thus weren't getting the windfall anyway.

  2. The incentive for poor people to get themselves off public assistance and "no longer be poor" is even with help...they're STILL POOR! Being poor, even with some assistance, isn't all that pleasant. (I speak from experience) It's a stubborn myth that poor people, who are on public assistance, are sitting in the lap of luxury. You should try living on just those "freebies" that you mentioned and see how meager they actually are. By the way, I didn't mean you had to buy/own a puppy...just pet one. :)

  3. As near as I can tell the minority has ZERO constitutional obligation to offer a quorum to the majority. A requirement for quorum was inserted into the constitution so that tyrannical majorities could not simply shove through odious and objectionable legislation (which is exactly what they did.) By allowing a tyrannical majority to charge fines against the minority for exercising their constitutional prerogative to deny quorum the court as made a mockery of constitutional governance in the state of Indiana.

  4. The voters elected the Reps to make a vote not walk out on the vote. They had to the right to exercise their opinion and vote "no" to the bill. Let me ask you this if you walked out of your job for 5 straight weeks would you get paid? Would you even have a job to go back to? If any elected official walks out on the people they should be arrested for stealing tax dollars from the public. They were elected to do a job and not leave when the job gets stuff.

  5. I have been to several of their locations in Pennsylvania and always go in for 1 item and leave with a basket full of things. I'm very happy they decided on Indiana, now if only they would put the other store in eastside.
