Nashville Bus Fare: Your Ticket to Adventure (Without Breaking the Bank)
So, you're in Music City, ready to two-step your way around town on the iconic Nashville bus system, WeGo. But before you bust a move on the dance floor on wheels (metaphorically, please!), you gotta figure out how to pay the fiddler, or should we say, the bus driver. Don't worry, this ain't no honky-tonk situation – paying for your ride is easier than mastering a twang.

Cash or Card? The Great Nashville Bus Debate (Spoiler: It's Not That Dramatic)
Gone are the days of rummaging through your purse for exact change (unless you enjoy that kind of suspense). As of October 2023, WeGo has embraced the 21st century with two main payment options: QuickTicket and exact cash.
QuickTicket: Your Magical Ride Buddy
Think of QuickTicket as your personal genie for Nashville bus rides. It's a reloadable card or a smartphone app that lets you tap, pay, and be on your way. No more digging for quarters or that crumpled dollar bill you found under the couch. Plus, with QuickTicket, you get the best fares! We're talking serious savings, folks.
Here's the lowdown on QuickTicket:
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
- Get it: Head over to the QuickTicket website (
https://www.quicktickettn.com/ - Load it up: Add some moolah to your QuickTicket using your debit or credit card. Easy peasy!
- Using it is a breeze: When you board the bus, simply tap your card or phone on the fare reader. Presto! You're good to go.
Cash Money (But Make it Exact Change)
Maybe you're a traditionalist, or maybe you just used all your cash at a bootscootin' good time at the rodeo. No worries, WeGo still accepts exact cash (coins and bills) for the fare. But here's the catch: You won't get the sweet QuickTicket discounts. So, it's like paying full price for a cowboy hat when you could've gotten it on sale.
Important Note: Hold onto your horses! WeGo is phasing out paper tickets, so QuickTicket or exact change are your only options for fixed-route service (the regular buses that take you around town).
Fares that Won't Leave You Singin' the Blues
We know you're here for the music, not shelling out a fortune for bus rides. Here's a quick rundown of the fares:
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
- Adult fare: $2 with exact cash, but less with QuickTicket! (We won't spoil the surprise...)
- Discounts: Yeehaw! There are discounts available for youth, seniors, people with disabilities, and Medicare cardholders. You'll need a WeGo Discount ID for that, though. Apply in person at the Elizabeth Duff Transit Center.
- Free riders: Children under 4 years old can ride for free. Now that's something to sing about!
