Taking public transit to Taylor Swift? Make sure you have time to catch it after the concert.

If you plan to go to the Taylor Swift concert on Nov. 1, 2 or 3, make sure you have a plan for getting to and from Lucas Oil Stadium.

Upwards of 200,000 people are expected to be in downtown Indianapolis over the three nights of concerts, meaning lots of congested roads, high rideshare prices and the potential for travel headaches.

While you can use public transportation to get to the concerts, the same lines may not be running after late night shows.

A spokesperson for IndyGo said bus schedules and routes would not be changed the weekend Swift is in town.

Here’s what to know about IndyGo travel options.

How late does IndyGo run?

Swift’s concerts typically run more than three hours not including the opening act. Assuming an 8 p.m. start time, that means concerts will likely let out around 11:30 p.m. Here’s what IndyGo public transit options are available that late at night.

The Red and Purple Lines

Red Line buses run every 15 to 20 minutes and have many stops downtown not too far of a walk to the stadium. Purple Line buses, which started running Oct. 13, stop downtown at the transit center and the Statehouse.

On Friday and Saturdays, the Red Line runs south to County Line Road and north to 66th Street until 1 a.m., leaving plenty of time to get home after the concert. Likewise, the Purple Line runs northeast to Fort Ben until 1 a.m.

But fans who take the Red or Purple Line to the concert on Nov. 3 should plan a different way home. Both rapid bus lines stop running at 10 p.m. on Sundays.

Bus routes

Bus routes will operate as normal Nov. 1, 2 and 3. Most routes run until midnight every night.

Find bus routes and schedules on IndyGo’s website.

What about rideshares?

City officials say they are working with rideshare companies, such as Uber and Lyft, to make pick-up and drop-off as smooth as possible. Still, plan extra time to get to the stadium and expect to wait after the concert for available drivers due to surge pricing on the apps.

Keep an eye out for more details on dedicated areas for rideshare services and passenger pick-up outside Lucas Oil Stadium.

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

Philip Rivers fell one throw short of storybook ending in his couch-to-Colts return

He had one last throw left in that 44-year-old wing of his. For most of the afternoon, he’d been able to fool Father Time and frighten 68,771 Seattle Seahawks fans inside Lumen Field who’d come to bury Philip Rivers and, instead, watched him push their football team to the very brink of an impossible upset.

There had been a moment when it seemed Rivers might actually pull off the damn thing, too. That was with 1 minute and 55 seconds left in the game. The Colts led for so much of the game and were behind Seattle 15-13, but the ball was in the old man’s hands now. All day, he’d been careful and efficient. It got him a 13-3 lead at one point. Now, he needed to make a play.

And damned if he didn’t make a play.

Damned if he didn’t throw a 16-yard back-shoulder special to wide receiver Alec Pierce. Damned if that ball didn’t mean the Seahawks were now going to burn all of their timeouts because, in the NFL in 2025, just making it past midfield — as that throw did — means you’re in field goal range.

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

Philip Rivers comes out of retirement for Indianapolis Colts: NFL world reacts

The Indianapolis Colts have cooled considerably as the season has progressed, going from the NFL’s best record to out of the playoff picture entering Week 15 action.

But one of today’s notable storylines is the return of quarterback Philip Rivers after five years away from the NFL. He’s on the Colts’ active roster as they prepare to play the Seattle Seahawks.

The 44-year-old was on Lumen Field hours before kickoff, taking mental reps.

Colts QB Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending injury last week, and backup Riley Leonard suffered a knee injury, though he remains on the active roster. With Brett Rypien the only other QB on their roster and list of available QBs lacking, the Colts called the last signal-caller to lead them in a playoff game (after the 2020 season).

His comeback has piqued the interest of a former Colts coach and players, his former teammates on the Chargers, former NFL quarterbacks and even those from outside football.
