Despite CDC's renewal of public transit mask mandate, local travel experiencing a boom

INDIANAPOLIS — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention extended the travel mask mandate on Wednesday, meaning it will continue for at least the next 15 days — through May 3 — while the agency evaluates the situation."At this point where we are, in our lives and the world, travel is necessary to keep our sanity," said Caitlin O'Brien.

"You gotta get away. You stay around town, or something like that, it's not the same as getting away. I'd rather take the trip," said Hoosier Jeff Williams while he waited to pick up his girlfriend at the Indianapolis International Airport. "I think that two years of being at home — nice bonding with the family. But the kids are ready to get out, the parents are ready to get out, and people are still traveling," he said.

"A lot of people, even if you did travel over the last few years, it was domestically. Now a lot of families and travelers and guests are going overseas," said Greuninger.
