Lindberg Rd. detours extended

Bridge construction will extend bus detours on Lindberg Rd. in West Lafayette through Friday, September 16th.

• Through Saturday, Aug. 20th, inbound 4B buses will continue to detour via Cherry Ln. before serving Lindberg Rd. (See route information).


• Starting Monday, Aug. 22nd, route 8 will follow an extended schedule, and daytime 4B inbound buses will not serve Lindberg Rd. (See route/schedule.)


• The regular routes will resume on Monday, September 19th. This means 4B inbound will resume service directly to Lindberg Rd. and route 8 will follow the regular schedule with morning and afternoon trips operating only. (See 4B schedule, See 8 schedule.)

CityBus changes coming soon

Many CityBus routes will change on Monday, August 22. CityBus is simplifying routes to make riding easier-to-learn for new riders, ending poorly used services, and bringing CityBus closer to Franciscan St. Elizabeth Hospital East.

Here is a rundown of the changes:

• 1A Market Square: Bus will follow the route used during the day at all times, ending confusing evening detours along 14th and Hartford streets and downtown.



• 1B Salisbury: Bus schedule changes during the afternoon/evening rush on days when Purdue classes are held. Longer travel times, due to heavy traffic, are built into the new schedule. CityBus hopes this will help buses be better about being on time, making using the bus easier for riders.



• 3 Lafayette Square: Late-night service Monday through Friday will no longer run because of low use by CityBus riders. The last bus will depart downtown at 8:45PM. Also, the route number will change from 3A to just 3.



• 4B Purdue West/Klondike: The outbound bus will no longer stop at The Lodge Apartments on Cumberland Ave., West Lafayette. (Route 1B will keep on stopping there.) Longer travel times to allow for heavy traffic are built into the schedule during the afternoon/evening rush, on weekdays when Purdue classes are held. Both changes will help buses be better about being on time, CityBus hopes.



• 6A Fourth Street: Ends “on-request” service to Evonik and Workman Ln., both in Lafayette, due to rare use by riders.



• 7 St. Rd. 26 E.: Brings the inbound bus to the front door at Walmart, resulting in a shorter ride from Walmart to downtown.



• 9 Ready2Go: Brings bus service closer to Franciscan St. Elizabeth Hospital along St. Francis Way, in Lafayette. Bus will no longer go to Lafayette Marketplace and K-Mart, however the 4A bus will still keep stopping there. This change will make it easier for riders to get to the hospital and doctors’ offices behind the hospital.



• 19 South Campus at Purdue will change because of construction on Harrison St., and 20 Avtech will stop at the Purdue airport every 20 minutes.



• 23 Wabash Trolley Line: The trolley, when going from campus to Lafayette, will stop at the bus transfer station at Riehle Plaza and Ivy Tech’s new downtown center before going to the county library and upper Main Street. This change will make it easier for Purdue riders to connect with other buses or attend classes at Ivy Tech.

CityBus’ Manager of Development John Metzinger says riders should make themselves familiar with the changes. New schedules are available on the website at www.gocitybus.com, and printed maps and schedules are also available. For customer service, call (765) 742-RIDE or write ridehelp@gocitybus.com.
