The pandemic has stressed all sorts of institutions and services around the city, and Nashville’s public transit system is no exception. Over the past year, WeGo Public Transit saw ridership numbers fall while at the same time having to implement new COVID-19 safety protocols like running more buses to prevent crowding. What’s more, the pandemic forced these changes less than a year after service cuts to bus services. Pandemic ridership habits have informed new service changes from WeGo, which are scheduled for April. Those are designed to improve frequency on some bus routes, expand or alter certain lines, and discontinue service on others.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) â Speed limits could change around Nashville if a proposal makes its way through Metro Council. It aims to change the speed limit from 30 miles per-hour to 25 in certain areas.
The discussion to change the speed limit in neighborhoods will happen during Tuesday night s Metro Council meeting.
Walk Bike Nashville says this could force people to slow down and stop driving recklessly in Nashville neighborhoods. The group says speed determines how severe a crash will be and just a few miles per-hour difference can have a huge impact.
