> Frequent Bus Service on Fourth Street
> Louisville's Fourth Street corridor, which connects South Louisville and 
> downtown and includes many of the city's major destinations, now features 
> frequent public transportation service.
>
> Following the success of frequent bus arrival times on two other routes, 
> TARC is improving service on its Fourth Street route. Between Iroquois 
> Park and Market Street downtown, buses now arrive every 10 minutes north 
> of Central Avenue and every 20 minutes south of Central Avenue from 6 
> a.m. - 9 p.m. on weekdays.
>
> The improved service, which began earlier this month, was announced at a 
> news conference on the University of Louisville Belknap campus, about 
> mid-point along the route. TARC Executive Director Barry Barker was joined 
> by Congressman John Yarmuth and Mayor Greg Fischer in making the 
> announcement.
>
> "The addition of Fourth Street as our third frequent service route 
> reflects a growing demand for efficient public transportation on major 
> corridors," Barker said. "Now Louisville has frequent bus service 
> throughout the city on major thoroughfares. You don't need a schedule and 
> there's no long wait for a ride."

> Once again this year a partnership between TARC and the Louisville Free 
> Public Library will allow high-school students to ride TARC during the 
> school year at a discounted rate.
>
> All high school students are eligible to get the Library card that also 
> serves as a TARC Student ID to ride TARC at the discounted rate of 80 
> cents. The first day of school for Jefferson County Public Schools is 
> Tuesday, August 21.
>
> The free cards are distributed by Jefferson County Public Schools and

> after boarding. Returning students should use their previously issued 
> Library Power Plus cards. The cards are valid until the anticipated 
> graduation date indicated on the card.

> rate. After Dec. 1, high school students without a Library Power Plus card 
> or TARC Student ID card will be charged the regular fare of $1.75.
