Fares that Won't Leave You Singing the Blues
- Single Rider: Want a quick trip across town to catch some live music? A single ride will set you back a mere $2.00. That's cheaper than a can of cowboy boots koozie (probably).
- Feeling Fancy? Maybe you're planning a whole day of exploring. In that case, a $4.00 full-day pass lets you hop on and off all day without a care in the world (well, except for maybe where your next stop is).
- The Committed Commuter: If you're in Nashville for the long haul (and plan on doing some serious bus riding), a monthly pass for $65.00 is your best bet. That's like a week's worth of lattes, but with way less jitters and a whole lot more sightseeing.
WeGo also offers discounts for:
- Youths, seniors, and the young at heart: Show your ID and snag a discounted single ride for $1.00.
- Children under 4 and veterans: Those folks get to ride for free! Now that's something to sing about.
Important Tidbit: There are also separate fares for regional buses that travel to nearby towns. These fares are a bit higher, but still won't break the bank.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
So, How Do I Pay the WeGo Piper?
WeGo offers a few options for paying your fare:
- Cash: Exact change is always appreciated by the bus driver (they're not there to make change for your twenty).
- QuickTicket: This is a reloadable fare card that you can buy at various locations around Nashville. It's convenient and lets you avoid the fumble for exact change.
Bonus Tip: WeGo also has a handy app that lets you track buses in real-time and purchase fares right from your phone. No more waiting in line at a kiosk, which means more time for line dancing!
How To Get On The Nashville Bus Without Looking Like a Lost Tourist (Spoiler Alert: It's Easy!)
- Have your fare ready: This will save you and the bus driver time (and maybe a few awkward glances from fellow passengers).
- Signal your stop: Most Nashville buses have a cord or button you need to press to let the driver know you want to get off at the next stop. Don't be shy, give it a good yank (or push)!
- Be polite: A simple "thank you" to the driver goes a long way. After all, they're the ones keeping this musical city moving!
