This season’s performances will take place on board IndyGo’s Good Vibes bus, highlighting our shared commitment to a safe, respectful transit environment for all riders. The theme aligns with IndyGo’s Good Vibes Guide, which encourages riders to help keep transit spaces safe, accessible and comfortable by following the Rider Code of Conduct. From being mindful of others to knowing what to do when something doesn’t feel right, the guide reinforces a simple message: Good vibes for every ride. Good Vibes Guides are available on IndyGo buses, at the Julia M. Carson Transit Center and online here.
Season eight of Music in Transit is produced in partnership with IndyGo, GANGGANG and Total Fun Productions.
Episodes will be released on the Music in Transit YouTube channel, beginning later this summer, with new performances debuting weekly on Sundays at noon following the season premiere.
