The Purple Line is a bus rapid transit line operated by IndyGo in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States. It opened on October 13, 2024, with 31 stations on 15.2 miles (24.5 km) between Downtown Indianapolis and Lawrence. The Purple Line shares stations with the Red Line from the Julia M. Carson Transit Center to 38th Street, north of downtown, and continues east on 38th Street.[1] [2][3]
The Purple Line was one of five bus rapid transit lines proposed by IndyGo in the early 2010s. It was originally envisioned as an entirely east–west crosstown line between Lafayette Square and Lawrence that would replace existing routes 38 and 39.[4]
