IndyGo Purple Line

The rapid Purple Line will increase convenience, frequency and reliability, while improving travel times and decreasing wait times.

The 60-foot articulated, fully electric Purple Line transit vehicles work seamlessly with rapid transit operation on IndyGo’s BRT lines, with doors opening on either side of the bus and reaching increased ranges with innovative inductive charging.

Instead of bike racks on the front of the bus, Purple Line buses have onboard bicycle storage, meaning those with a bicycle should board at the door nearest the bike storage area. New level boarding platforms allow you to roll your bicycle on and off with ease.

The Purple Line brings it all together, extending 15.2 miles between Indianapolis and the City of Lawrence. The Purple Line runs through several neighborhoods, past major employers, cultural institutions and healthcare and educational facilities with fast, frequent and reliable service.

IndyGo reimagined the conventional “bus stop” with specific attention to making the experience convenient for passengers and ensuring fast and frequent operation. The Purple Line’s new rapid transit stations feature:

New in-median locations. Ticket vending machines (cash/credit/debit) that speed the boarding process. Digital screens displaying real-time arrival information for the next bus. Level station access in accordance with the American Disabilities Act. Flush, step-free, bus-height boarding platforms. Well-lit boarding areas, security cameras and “blue-light” emergency phones. Wind screens and drip-free roof eaves for better weather protection.
