Commuter Services
Connecting Bus Service
To help complete your commute, MTA buses for two routes meet each train upon arrival at Riverfront Station. Route #94 loops through downtown, and #93 travels up Broadway, West End and over to the Vanderbilt and Belmont campuses. There is no additional cost for RTA Music City Star riders to take these buses. Commuters whose work locations are not served by either of these connecting bus routes should take the #94 bus to the 4th Avenue & Deaderick Street MTA Transit Mall to catch another bus to their final destination, and they may qualify for a proximity card at no extra charge to complete their journeys. Please call 615-862-8833 to inquire, or see the Connecting Bus Service page for more information.
Special Accessibility Needs
All trains and stations are fully accessible for the mobility impaired. If you are hearing impaired, tell the conductor where you want to exit when you board.
Emergency Ride Home Program
RTA offers the Emergency Ride Home program that provides 8 (eight) rides home annually to registered, regular commuters in case of an emergency. To register visit the Emergency Ride Home program page or call 615-862-8833 for more information.
