Indianapolis Red Line BRT
Bus rapid transit that carried disproportionate ridership.
C · 14/24
1 · The idealist case (in its proponents' own framing)
Build dedicated BRT for frequent service.
2 · The realist counter-case
Critics note pre-COVID ridership decline.
3 · Predicted vs. measured — with caveats
~1% of service area but 15% of boardings; ridership declined pre-COVID (Rice Kinder/SRF).
4 · Liberty check
Transit investment vs. ridership return.
5 · The real tradeoff
Cost case held; ridership case mixed.
