Please consult individual route schedules for further information. Welcome aboard! Nashville is a great and growing city, and as we have grown, so too have the services of the Nashville Metropolitan Transit Authority. Today, we have a transit system that is connected to all major corridors and demand for services has never been higher. Earlier this year, we launched a new downtown circulator called the Music City Circuit. This free and convenient service is a great way to get around downtown Nashville and the Gulch. In September, another line was added to the Music City Circuit. The Purple Circuit operates from Riverfront Station to the Richard H. Fulton Complex every 15 minutes, Monday – Friday, from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The other two downtown routes (Blue and Green) operate frequently Monday – Saturday from Riverfront Station. The Blue Circuit travels north/south to the Bicentennial Mall and the Green Circuit runs east/west into the Gulch, a LEED certified community. Another important transit service the MTA operates is our first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line on our city’s busiest corridor, Gallatin Road. All new hybrid 60-foot BRT vehicles provide frequent service with fewer stops than the local buses. Enhanced BRT customer amenities have been added, including the installation of new bus shelters and green light signal extenders. Finally, one of the very best jewels of our transit system is Music City Central, our downtown transit station. MCC opened in October 2008 and creates a unique central hub for bus activity within our downtown business district with its cosmopolitan and comfortable atmosphere, ticket and information center, customer waiting rooms, retail businesses, and outdoor art on the plaza. I hope you will continue to be one of the thousands of people who rely on our transit services to get you to your destinations. Karl F.
