Enduring decades without a recognizable public transportation system, many in the Hoosier State - particularly those living outside of Indianapolis - have written to the governor's office to petition Governor Mitch Daniels to approve funding for a small, 48-passenger seat bus with 6 to 8 wheels.
"It has been a lot of hard work," said transportation organizer Corey Hanneman, outside of Indianapolis City Hall. "To finally give the people of this great state an efficient and well planned bus is a great achievement. It's going to mean so much for everyone."
The bus, which will become available to the public on 1st September, is likely to be used for day trips, sporting events and the occasional journey down to Cincinnati.
