If you are a student from out-of-state, or maybe just from down the street, you might be wondering how on Earth are you going to get around the city?
From city bikes to electric blue cars it’s easy to get from A to B in Indy, even if you don’t have your own car. Here are some great transportation options in the city if you don’t have your own car or bike…or even if you do.
BlueIndy
BlueIndy is a 100% electric car-sharing service and has about 200 charging stations in the Indianapolis region. These little cars are easy to use and doesn’t take a toll on your wallet.
