GettinG to School

The Nashville MTA bus system is a great way to get to and from school. Most routes can even accommodate afterschool 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 FaReS

Youth fares (for riders age 19 and younger) are $1.00. However, Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) students in grades 5 through 12 who have been issued a valid 2015-2016 school ID may ride without charge. If you are paying, please tell the driver you need the youth fare and pay with the exact change when you get on the bus or use an All-Day, 7-Day or 31-Day Quest Youth Pass. If you plan to transfer to another bus, you will need to pay another youth fare of $1.00 or swipe your multi-ride pass.

In partnership with the Mayor’s Office

and 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 enrolled in grades 5 through 12 are able to ride MTA buses at no cost_{. Students}

in grades 5-8 must receive their parent’s permission to have their ID programmed for use on MTA buses. This transit partnership works in tandem with regular MNPS bus transportation.

Each middle and high school 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 bulls-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.

Students utilizing this service should follow the MTA Code of Conduct.

MTA and RTA offer 56 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.

BuS Stop

Blue-and-white MTA bus stop signs, bus shelters or benches identify bus stops. You must be at the bus stop on time so you won’t miss the bus. The bus schedule will let you know what time to expect the bus. (Running a little late? Check your bus schedule—another bus will

probably be along soon.) look for the route name and number on the bus front and side displays. Make sure you are

getting on the correct bus! If you have any questions about where the bus is going, ask the driver.

Enter the bus through the door

nearest the driver. Please wait for others to leave before entering the bus. Please remain behind the standing line while riding the bus.

Find a seat promptly and place your book bag and other belongings on your lap instead of taking an extra seat. Please avoid sitting on the floor, steps, etc., and follow the direction of the driver. His or her job is to make sure you arrive safely! Please behave in a safe, courteous manner at all times. No loud noises, horseplay or inappropriate behavior is permitted, and please place trash in specified containers.

It 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 either pulling the stop cord or pushing the strip located next to the window.

When exiting the bus, please use the exit doors toward the middle of the bus. Please remain at the top step until the green light comes on indicating it is safe to exit.

If you plan to transfer to another bus, you will need to pay another youth fare when you board that bus. If you are using a multi-ride pass, just swipe your pass at the fare box. Transfers to and from regional routes (outside Davidson County) are different and may require an additional fee. Please call (615) 862-5950 for more information.

Most of the buses travel to the main transfer station, Music City Central (MCC), which is located at 400 Charlotte Avenue.

BiKe and Ride

For 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. Place your front wheel in the tray, rotate the knobbed handle around to secure the front tire in the rack, and release the knobbed handle to allow the arm to clamp down on the front tire.

Never cross the street in front of

a bus. Wait until the bus has pulled

off so you can safely cross the

road.

Bad WeatheR

When 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 & Ride

MTA 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.
