INDIANAPOLIS – On Sunday, June 10, IndyGo will implement the second round of local bus route improvements as part of the Transit Plan’s 70% increase in service.

Direct benefits to riders starting Sunday, June 10, include:
- 200 plus trips added on Routes 3, 10, 31, 34, and 37
- Doubling weekday service for Routes 3 and 34
- Increasing Saturday Route 10 frequency to 20 minutes
- Doubling Sunday Route 31 & 37 service
Other changes to riders include:
- Minor timing changes will be made to Route 17, 22, and 24.
- Stops discontinued and shelters removed at Westbound stops at Ohio/Pierson & Ohio/Pennsylvania.
Eastbound stops across Ohio Street will not be affected. All affected riders should use the Ohio/Meridian stop starting June 10.

“By June, there will be more than 450 weekly transit trips added this year,” says IndyGo president and CEO, Mike Terry. “We are excited as these improvements, along with the groundbreaking for Red Line construction, are a significant gain in momentum for the implementation of the Marion County Transit Plan.”
