If you are planning to go to the Kentucky Derby or the Kentucky Oaks, TARC will provide service to Churchill Downs for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby on four routes that normally travel within walking distance of Churchill Downs.
Service will be available at the regularly scheduled times on all routes for the usual fare of $1.50. The following routes travel near Churchill Downs:
• Rt. #2 serves downtown, UofL and Louisville International Airport.
• Rt. #4 serves downtown, Old Louisville, the South End and Iroquois Park area.
• Rt. #6 serves downtown, Shively, Iroquois Park and Fairdale areas.
• Rt. #29 serves St. Matthews, Highlands, UofL and Shively.
TARC will follow designated detours away from track starting at about 4:30 p.m. on Oaks and Derby Day. After the races, buses will pick people up at a different stop than where they were dropped off.
In addition, as part of Derby Eve festivities, there will be free bus and trolley rides on TARC provided by Miller Lite Free Rides™.
The Free Rides program is designed to reduce drunk driving during major community events by providing a safe transportation alternative. Free rides on TARC will be available on all TARC routes and trolleys from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. on Derby Eve. Extra trolleys will run along Main and Market Streets until midnight to provide better access to downtown establishments and the Miller Lite-sponsored Derby Eve Jam on the waterfront.
