LOUISVILLE, Ky. — All TARC routes will be fare-free for the whole day of Thunder Over Louisville.

The major event will return on Saturday, April 20 at Waterfront Park.

Five post-Thunder boarding stops have been placed within the Metro, with most being within blocks of the Waterfront. The stops will be available for passengers to board immediately following the event, and will be the only downtown boarding options. 

Officials said this is all in an effort to get people home "as quickly as possible."

There will be 68 buses that will be added to Saturday's service to help with the city's influx of people for the event. 

A shuttle service from Shawnee Park to Union Station will also run throughout the day.

NOTE: Buses on cross-river routes #71 (Jeffersonville-Louisville-New Albany), #72 (Clarksville), #73 (West Louisville-River Ridge) and #74 (Chamberlain Ln-River Ridge) will not make return trips to Indiana after 8 p.m. due to bridge closures. However, regular non-cross-river Indiana service will continue.
