Buses and trolleys ply the streets of Nashville, the
Metropolitan Transit Authority running several bus routes from
5.30am to midnight each day. Bus 34 is the Music Valley Express
that links the downtown district with Opryland, where it meets the
Music Valley Trolley serving Music Drive. This service operates
every 40 minutes daily between 8.15am and 6.15pm. There is a free
trolley route, the Lunch Line, looping through the central city
area between Second Broadway and Sixth Avenue. For sightseers a
trolley leaves the Frist Arts Center on Broadway at midday and 2pm
for a two-hour tour that takes in the main attractions. There are
several taxi companies operating in Nashville, and the major car
rental companies offer services. Driving in Nashville's small
downtown area can be frustrating, but a hire car is useful for
excursions out of town.
