The Municipal Corporations Committee of the Indianapolis City-County Council heard from IndyGo about the planned Purple Line. The line is the second of two more planned rapid transit lines for Indianapolis.

IndyGo will overhaul its route system, apart from the new and planned rapid transit lines. The public has a chance to weigh in on this first major change in decades.

After months of planning, construction, delays and a few hiccups along the way, IndyGo's Red Line is fully operational. WFYI's Taylor Bennett spoke to IndyGo's new director of public affairs Lesley Gordon about the city's road to a new rapid transit system.

Once temperatures are below 50 degrees, the buss charge becomes too low to complete routes.

The free fare period will extend through Nov. 30 because delays with the new MyKey system made it necessary to put a temporary fare collection system in place.

IndyGo's Red Line buses will now take passengers to 96th Street on the citys north side and to Greenwood Park Mall on the south side.

IndyGo says as of late September, ticket vending machines are unable to accept bills for cash transactions, and the user interface for administering the fare system is behind schedule.

Beginning Sept. 15, the single-trip pass will be replaced by IndyGos new 2-Hour Transfer Ticket.

With new bus stops in the middle of the street, brightly painted sections of pavement, restrictions on left turns, and buses driving northbound on streets that are one-way south, there's a lot of new information for Indianapolis drivers to absorb.

Indianapolis Public Schools leaders bet a partnership with IndyGo will lead to future savings worth millions of dollars by eventually eliminating yellow buses for high school students.
