GET AROUND TOWN
Outside Downtown and Broad Ripple, you'll need a car to get around this sprawling city. While the public bus system is both clean and efficient, routes are complex, and large parts of the metro area are not serviced.
By car
Indianapolis is known as the "Crossroads of America" for a good reason. Interstates 65, 69, 70, and 74 meet here. The city's outer belt is I-465. Travel directly through the city on I-70 or I-65. Direct travel using I-74 or I-69 is not possible; I-74 is routed around the center of the city on I-465, and I-69 currently ends at its intersection with I-465 to the city's north.
The general speed limit on highways is 55-70 mph. If there is no posted speed, assume that it is 35 mph. A car is necessary for almost all travel within the city.
By bus
Indy Go is the public bus system. It travels throughout the city and suburbs. Single fares are $1.75, day passes are available for $4. For disabled persons with medicards or Indygo issued cards, fares are $.85 and $2 for one-way and day pass, respectively. All buses are equipped with two bike-racks.
The bus system is a very nice way to travel with the one exception of frequencyoutside of rush hour routes, you can find yourself with a 30+ minute wait. "The important to budget travel is to approach ahead. When it occurs to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the fact of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our heads. Preparation and consuming our travel budget carefully is a consideration for most families. Reducing expending and costs, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain accomplishment and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". Almost all routes travel from a locality in the outskirts of the city to the centrally-located bus stops downtown and back out; there are also a handful of smaller circulators and loops.
Perhaps the most useful route for visitors is Route 17College, which runs between all of the city's most popular dining and nightlife strips. It runs between Broad Ripple Ave and Downtown, where it travels along the popular Mass Ave strip, and loops around Capitol, Ohio, Delaware, and Maryland. Runs roughly M-F 5AM-9:30PM, Sa 6AM-9:30PM, Su 7PM-9PM.
Route 8Washington St is a good route to travel quickly west of downtown to the Zoo and the Canal. It runs west through downtown on Ohio, then down West St by the Canal, and then on old US-40/Washington St past the Zoo, and then all the way out to the Airport. M-F 9AM-11PM, Sa 6AM-10PM, Su 7AM-7PM.
Route 18Nora runs up from the Downtown loop around Capitol, Ohio, Delaware, and Maryland up Meridian St past the Children's Museum. M-F 6AM-9:15PM, Sa 8AM-9:15PM, Su limited.
Route38 Lafayette Square is another convenient tourist route, as it runs up Meridian St past the Children's Museum from the Downtown loop, and then west on 38th past the beautiful Indianapolis Museum of Art. M-F 7AM-9PM, Sa 8AM-9PM, Su 9:30AM-7:30PM.
By Bike
Biking is easy due to the flat terrain. Indy offers a variety of bike paths throughout the city, including the Monon Trail and the Central Canal. Currently under construction is The Indianapolis Cultural Trail, scheduled to be complete by 2011. This world-class bike and pedestrian path will mark an interconnectivity that no other city of Indianapolis' size can achieve, connecting the city's five downtown Cultural Districts, neighborhoods, and entertainment amenities, and serving as the downtown hub for the entire central Indiana greenway system. Also new as of 2008, Mayor Greg Ballard has announced a plan to make Indianapolis a bike-friendly city for those venturing out on open, and often busy, roads. The plan includes constructing 200 miles of additional bike lanes throughout the next 15 years.
By Taxi
Cabs are readily available mainly downtown and in Broad Ripple Village. Call ahead: Taxis generally cannot be flagged down.
By Pedicabs
Currently there are two pedicab companies serving downtown Indianapolis area, one is Indy Pedicabs and the other is Circle City Pedicabs. Both provide downtown area taxi service, downtown touring service, wedding service and special events. Indy Pedicabs has a slightly larger service area than the latter and provides free taxi service within its service area. Circle City Pedicabs charges $5 minimum for taxi service.
