the right way to go
GettinG to SchooLThe Nashville MTA bus system is a great way to get to and from school. Most routes can even accommodate after-school activities, so getting a ride home after practice is no longer a problem. And, MTA makes riding the bus safe and comfortable. Our friendly drivers are happy to help by answering whatever questions you may have.
Youth FaReSYouth fares (for riders age 19 and younger) are $1.00. If you are paying, please tell the driver you need the youth fare when you get on the bus or use an All-Day, 7-Day or 31-Day Quest Youth Pass.

In partnership with the Mayor’s Office, Metro Council, and Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS), the Nashville MTA offers a unique program that helps students get to and from school and other activities via an MTA bus.
All MNPS students, including charter high schoool students, enrolled in grades 9 through 12 are able to ride MTA buses at no cost. Students in grades 5 through 8 who attend an out-of-zone school where they have no yellow bus service are eligible to participate in the StrIDe program with parental permission. Charter middle schools are not included in the program. This transit partnership works in tandem with regular MNPS bus transportation.
Each eligible student’s MNPS ID card serves as their school ID card, library card and bus pass. It is programmed to work on the fare boxes on all the MTA buses. Students should place their ID above the bull’s-eye located on the fare box and wait for the box to beep. This sound indicates that the card has been recognized, and the student will be allowed to board.
A new school ID card will be issued at the start of each school year and is non-transferrable. It is valid for bus rides on MTA buses in Davidson County only. Students will be issued student ID cards at their respective schools. There is a charge to replace the card that will be collected by the school.

The best way to plan your route is to work backward from the time you need to get to
school — that way, you’ll never be late!
Work backward to get
home from school. Be

MTA and RTA offer 57 bus routes serving the Middle Tennessee area. Routes are designated by a route number and destination. Maps and schedules for each route are available at MTA displays around town, online at NashvilleMTA.org or by calling Customer Care at 615-862-5950.
All bus schedules have a map of the route and a list of timepoints the bus runs along the route. Timepoints are organized by day (times are different for weekdays,
Saturdays, and Sundays/holidays) and direction of travel (to downtown/from downtown). Timepoints are read in columns and rows. To find the estimated times a bus stops at a particular spot, read down the column for the location. To determine the times that a particular bus will stop at other stops, read across the row (left to right). This is how you determine the time you need to get on a bus to get to where you are going on time.

exitinG the BuSIt is important that you remain alert while riding the bus. It is your responsibility to get off the bus at your stop. If you are not sure where to get off, ask the driver as you get on the bus.
If you know the stop you want, signal the driver about one block before the stop by pulling the stop cord. The stop cord is located along the right and left sidewalls of the bus.
When exiting the bus, please use the exit doors toward the middle of the bus. Please remain at the top step until the bus comes to a complete stop, and it is safe to exit.

BiKe and RideFor your convenience, all MTA buses are equipped with bike racks. In just a few seconds, you can securely store your bike and ride in comfort. Simply squeeze the metal handle in the center of the rack and pull down.

Bad WeatheRWhen it snows in Nashville, some streets and hills may be too hazardous for our buses to travel. For your safety, we have developed snow routes — detours set up on some of the routes to avoid icy streets. To find out if snow route detours are in effect, check our website or tune in to local news stations.
When a tornado warning has been issued for Nashville, the dispatcher will notify drivers to proceed to the nearest shelter area. In some cases, the driver may pull over and evacuate the bus at a building along the route and direct students to a safe place during the storm.
paRK & RideMTA has Park & Ride locations all around Nashville’s corridors. Park your car in a lot convenient to you and take the bus to school. See the MTA system map or website for a list. Also, the train stations in lebanon, Martha, Mt. Juliet, hermitage and Donelson have convenient parking for bus and train customers.
MTA works very closely with Metro Schools to provide the support services necessary to accommodate students. We are in constant communication with schools to handle any special needs including early dismissal and service disruptions.
SeRvice diSRuption Breakdowns or service disruptions of any nature will be reported to MTA Customer Care. Parents may direct inquiries to 615-862-5950.See page 24 for Customer Care hours.
eaRLY diSMiSSaL On school early dismissal days only, many routes have a midday trip that connects to Music City Central for student transfers. Check your schedule for midday trips near your school.
LoSt iteMS All items found on the bus are turned over to lost and Found and may be picked up at Music City Central at 400 Charlotte Avenue. Call 615-862-5950 to claim items.
