The city plans to launch a bike share system in April and expand service on its bus routes.
Gary, Indiana’s transit agency plans to expand the city’s bus and bike share services, according to a Mass Transit article by Alex Dalton.
The Gary Public Transit Corporation (GPTC) will offer more frequent schedules and extend some of its bus routes as the agency adds new buses to its current fleet of 20.
“With the weather warming, the GPTC is planning the return and expansion of a bikeshare program that first launched last spring. The Cycle219 previously made bicycles available for rent through a mobile app at four hubs in Gary's Miller Beach and Downtown areas, and this year the GPTC plans to add at least two more,” Dalton adds. The program will likely launch in April.
