From the fine folks at the Transit Authority of River City [4] (TARC):
TARC will provide service to Churchill Downs (700 Central Ave.) for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby [5] 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 days. After the races, buses will pick people up at a different stop than where they were dropped off. The maps show where the bus drop-off and pick-up points will be. Non-Derby TARC riders will also be affected by the detours.
