You may not consider the city of Indianapolis as a place where one can ride rail rapid transit. However there is a People Mover that runs just under 1.5 miles in each direction serving several campuses of Indiana University Hospital.
 
The hospital used to be called (until 2011) Clarian Health,   Back in 2004, one of our members did a trip report on it, located here.
 
There are three stations -- two of them within conglomerations of several hospitals, and one intermediate stop adjacent to the north end of Canal Walk, another attraction in itself.     The system is northwest of downtown, probably a several minute bus or hired car ride away. It is not immediately near Union Station where one would enter or leave Indianapolis by the Hoosier State, Cardinal, or associated Thruway buses.

Another one bites the dust.    I rode this in July of 2018 on the way back home after the LTRF.   I did not know that it would only survive another 8 months or so, terminating service permanently in February of 2019.  Just like the Delmar Loop Trolley in St. Louis, I am glad I got it when I did.   Wikipedia page linked to above is written in the past tense.
