TARC to provide service to the Kentucky State Fair

The Transit Authority of River City (TARC) will be offering bus service to the Kentucky State Fair, which begins tomorrow and runs through August 28.

TARC will offer additional service on Route No. 2 (Second Street Buses) that display "to fairgrounds." They will leave Fifth and Market streets downtown every 70 minutes from 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. daily during the fair.

The cost to ride on this service is the regular fare of $1.50 one-way. As the bus enters the fairgrounds, state fair employees will board the bus and accept payment for entry into the fair.

Admission prices to the fair are $10 for adults, $6 for children 3-12 and seniors ages 55 and older.

The bus will stop near the H lot opposite of Broadbent Arena and depart from that stop to return to the downtown area, with the last one leaving the fair at 11:10 p.m. each night. All buses are wheelhchair accessible and have bicycle racks.

There is also additonal service near the fairgrounds on Crittenden Drive (Route No. 2) and Preston Highway (Route No. 18). Those routes will not enter the fairgrounds.
