IndyGo Route List: Local Routes, Crosstown Routes and Rapid Lines
The official IndyGo route page currently lists local routes and rapid lines. Use this table to recognize the route number and route name, then open the official route page for the current schedule and map.
| Route group | Routes shown on IndyGo route list | What riders should verify |
|---|---|---|
| Early-number local routes | 2 East 34th St, 3 Michigan Street, 4 Community Hospital North, 5 East 25th St, 6 Harding, 8 Washington | Direction, weekday/weekend table, transfer point and live bus status. |
| Core local routes | 10 10th Street, 11 East 16th St, 13 Raymond Street, 15 West 34th St, 16 Emerson, 19 Broad Ripple | Stop side, downtown link, timing around school/work trips and rider alerts. |
| Crosstown / corridor routes | 21 East 21st St, 24 Mars Hill, 25 W 16th St, 26 Keystone, 28 St. Vincent, 29 South Madison, 30 30th Street Crosstown, 31 U S 31 | Terminal, route branch, transfer point and frequency changes. |
| Outer / major corridor routes | 34 ML King/Michigan Rd, 37 Park 100, 38 West 38th St, 56 Beech Grove, 82 82nd St, 87 Eastside Connector | Coverage area, late-night span, weekend availability and nearby alternatives. |
| Rapid transit | 90 Red Line, 92 Purple Line | Station platform, fare validation, service span, real-time display and alerts. |
⚠️ Do not memorize this list forever
IndyGo is actively changing service. Use this table for recognition only. The official route page should control the final schedule, map and service-alert decision.
IndyGo Rapid Routes: Red Line, Purple Line and Blue Line Planning
IndyGo’s rapid transit network is important because it changes how riders board, pay and transfer. The Red Line is Route 90. The Purple Line is Route 92. The Blue Line is a major project associated with the Washington Street corridor and current Route 8 planning.
Red Line
Route 90 Red Line serves the Broad Ripple to University of Indianapolis corridor through downtown, with frequent station service.
Purple Line
Route 92 Purple Line connects downtown Indianapolis and Lawrence with rapid-transit stations and frequent peak service.
Blue Line / Route 8 corridor
Blue Line planning follows the Washington Street corridor from Cumberland west toward the airport, tied to current Route 8 context.
IndyGo Live Tracker: MyStop, Track My Bus and Stop-Level Arrival Checks
IndyGo’s Track My Bus page points riders to MyStop and browser-based real-time tracking. Use live tracking when you are already close to leaving, and use the route schedule when you need to understand the full service span.
Search route
Open Track My Bus and search by route number or route name.
Select stop
Use the exact stop, stop ID, station or direction. Street names alone can mislead you.
Check vehicle status
Look for the current bus position, direction and upcoming arrivals.
Set alerts
Use alerts for recurring trips, delays, construction or stop changes.
💡 Live-data rule
If the schedule and live tracker disagree, check rider alerts and the route page before walking. The bus may be detoured, delayed, not yet in service or using a different stop.
IndyGo Fare and Payment: MyKey, MyKey+, Cash, Passes and Fare Caps
IndyGo’s fare page describes MyKey as an account-based fare system and lists fare-capping benefits. IndyGo also says MyKey+ arrives July 1, with riders told to use remaining MyKey balance by Aug. 31. Always check the official fare page before buying, loading or relying on a pass.
| Fare topic | What riders should know | Common mistake |
|---|---|---|
| MyKey | IndyGo’s account-based fare system supports smartphone and reloadable-card payment. | Boarding without a payment method ready. |
| MyKey+ | IndyGo says MyKey+ launches July 1, 2026, with a new app, web portal and smart card experience. | Ignoring the transition period if you still have MyKey balance. |
| Fare caps | IndyGo lists daily and weekly fare caps through the MyKey system. | Using an unregistered card or switching methods when trying to cap fares. |
| Cash | IndyGo says operators do not carry change and fareboxes do not make change. | Boarding with cash but no exact fare. |
| Rapid transit | BRT riders should know how fare validation works before boarding. | Waiting until the bus arrives to figure out payment. |
⚠️ Payment transition warning
Because IndyGo is transitioning fare systems, riders should verify MyKey, MyKey+, app, smart card and fare-cap rules on the official fare page before a real trip.
IndyGo System Map and Stop Planning: How to Avoid the Wrong Stop
The system map is useful for understanding the entire Indianapolis network, but the final boarding answer still comes from the route page and live tracker. For riders new to Indianapolis, the biggest risk is choosing the right route but waiting on the wrong side of the street.
Downtown hub
The Julia M. Carson Transit Center is IndyGo’s downtown hub, but route bay, direction and transfer timing still need verification.
Stop ID
A stop number or exact station name is safer than a street name, especially downtown or on major corridors.
Street side
The same route can serve opposite sides of the street depending on direction. Check the route map and destination sign.
- Use the full system map for route discovery and transfer planning.
- Use the route page for the actual timetable, map and route-specific alerts.
- Use Track My Bus when you need live arrivals and current bus location.
- Use rider alerts when construction, weather or events may change service.
- Use the destination sign before boarding, especially downtown.

🗺️ Open System MapIndyGo Weekend, Holiday and Service-Change Notes
IndyGo routes operate year-round, but holiday schedules can change. IndyGo’s holiday page says observed holidays generally use Sunday schedules, with Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth listed differently. Riders should also check service-change pages when a new map or schedule takes effect.
| Travel day | Planning rule | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday | Use the weekday schedule table on the route page. | Peak service, school/work timing, route alerts and live bus status. |
| Saturday | Use Saturday schedule, not weekday memory. | First/last bus, transfer windows and reduced frequency. |
| Sunday | Use Sunday schedule and check limited span. | Early morning, evening and transfer reliability. |
| Holiday | Check the IndyGo holiday page before traveling. | Sunday schedule, Saturday schedule, fare-free notes or care-center hours. |
| Service-change date | Check the route-change page and current system map. | New frequency, stop changes, route map and transfer impacts. |
Accessibility and First-Time Rider Help
IndyGo provides fixed-route buses, Bus Rapid Transit and paratransit services. IndyGo’s riding guidance says buses are equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps, securement devices and kneeling features, and that riders should make themselves visible near the bus stop sign.
- Before leaving: use route page, system map and Track My Bus together.
- At the stop: stand near the stop sign where the operator can see you.
- Check destination sign: confirm route number and direction before boarding.
- Accessibility: request ramp, lift or kneeling help when needed.
- Caregiver tip: share route number, direction, exact stop and stop ID, not just a street name.
- Support: IndyGo lists Customer Care Center support for trip planning and rider help.
