IndyGo Hosted The Super Stop Ribbon-Cutting

“IndyGo hosted a ribbon-cutting event Monday, Oct. 3, to showcase the city’s first Super Stop, which will bring enhanced rider comfort, improved mobility and faster transit times through downtown Indianapolis. The $6.6 million project was funded in partnership with the Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) to include infrastructure improvements surrounding the stop.

The Super Stop, located at the intersection of Delaware and New York streets, features the following amenities:

Real-time video screens- Shows riders when their bus will arrive in real time.Ticket vending machines- Allows riders to buy fare or reload their MyKey bus card onsite without having to go to the Carson Transit Center.

Extended covered seating- Provides more seating for more riders to be able to comfortably wait for the bus while being shielded from rain, snow, etc.

Security cameras- Provides an enhanced security feature for increased peace of mind.Near-level boarding- Allows riders with mobility issues to more easily get on and off the bus without a huge step.

Dedicated bus lane- Provides a lane for buses to travel separate from regular traffic meaning faster transit for bus riders.

Space for multiple buses- Keeps the high volume of buses from multiple routes moving efficiently through the stop so riders can quickly access their specific bus without additional wait times.”
