Hopefully the glitches will be worked out. I parked at the Subway sandwich shop parking lot yesterday and 22nd and Meridian just for analysis. At around 5 PM the spacing between two SB buses was one hour and nine minutes. During that time there were 6 NB buses. The next SB bus was about 10 minutes after the one hour and nine minute wait for the prior SB bus.
Monitors at the stops are up too high and the font is too small. Short people and those with bad eyesight aren’t able to read them. Screens need to be bigger and/ or lower and font needs to be larger. Also in the bus several times I heard the voice on speaker say , “stop requested” or words to that effect. I thought the bus is to stop only at the newly built stations and without any request.
The “stop requested” is for the upcoming station (alerting the driver who, if he/she sees no riders at that station could simply choose to continue on thru it). It is not used to make stops between stations.
Wow! It was obvious that Indy folk came out I’m droves on Sunday, but those numbers are astounding! It’s wonderful to see such enthusiasm in Indy for the Red Line.
I was there, packed in with the crowd. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood, excited, and friendly. I rode to lunch in Broad Ripple, and it looked liked the restaurants there were having a windfall from all the Red Line travelers.
Congrats IndyGo and Indianapolis!
No mention on the accidents on Capital? Very smart move, having silent busses traveling the wrong way on a one way street.
LOL. Buses are now legally allowed to go in each direction on Capitol Street, while cars and trucks are still restricted to southbound only. Regardless, Drivers Ed courses taught us to look BOTH ways before entering traffic lanes.
rode the Red Line on Labor Day! bus was full and ride was smooth as glass, I was downtown in no time! coming back was great, got to 66th and College, walked across the street to the #90 extension bus and on up to the Nora area! I will be using this all the time now instead of hassling with traffic to get to the Roudebush VA Med Center. #86 from Nora to College; #90 extension to RL station at 66th; RL to Capitol/Vermont station, walk to Ohio, board #10 out to the VA medical center. PIECE OF CAKE!
I did my experimenting with the red line today I live near Irvington and it took my almost exactly 1 hour to get to broad ripple (including 10-15 mins to figure out what to do at the transit transfer station). I think that’s acceptable. It was pretty crowded with people that just wanted to try it out. Once the kinks are worked out and some of the hype has died down I’ll probably be using this more frequently.
The flock was a given, given the free fare and novelty of grand opening. Lets talk in one year.
