$45,000,000 from CARES Ac for Indy Go. Ridership was declining prior to the Pandemic. This thing is in the right place at the right time for a government bailout – same for some blue states.
False. Ridership from January 2019 to January 2020 was up 8%.
It sure was a blessing to our family for getting him to PPHS at the Circle Center mall. It sure beats school buses. I think IPS should use them for their high schools.
IndyGo received transit operating funds as did the majority of agencies in the nation, all were affected by the pandemic. IndyGo as a public transit agency is as deserving of assistance as others agencies providing comparable service. That IndyGo ridership across the board was up by 8% bucks the trend of downward transit ridership for all but a few transit agencies across the nation. Transit ridership is up in the Seattle area, which is booming and characterized with significant population growth. That IndGo registers transit ridership improvement in a service area with little population growth is something to applaud. Instead of tearing down the agency the object it to build it up and ensure that it can provide high quality transit service which will attract ridership.The ridiculous state ban on light rail remains. However, BRT works well for ridership volumes in Indianapolis. Interestingly, short and longer term ridership on some IndyGo bus routes is as high or higher than projected ridership on the $816 million 8-mile South Shore commuter rail line extension coming to Northwest Indiana. So, BRT expansion in Indy reflects a good deal – 3 lines and about 40 miles of bus rapid transit at at half the cost of said rail line. Yep, some will rightly say the projects are very different and they are; both a beneficial and best meet needs in the areas served.
