Getting around Nashville

Between the buses and trolleys running through the streets of Nashville, you won’t have trouble getting around without a car. Buses run by the Metropolitan Transit Authority rumble over the streets from 5:30am to midnight every day. The Music Valley Express, bus 34, will take you to Opryland from downtown. Catch the express every 40 minutes between 8:15am and 6:15pm. The Lunch Line is a free trolley route that runs on a loop through the city between Second Broadway and Sixth Avenue. Sightseers might want to catch the trolley leaving the Frist Arts Center on Broadway at noon and 2pm. A two-hour tour will take you around the city’s main attractions. There are also several taxi and car rental companies working in the city, but you really only need a car if you’re getting out of town.
