Bus Service

Did you ever think you would be paying $50 to fill your gas tank? It’s the sort of adjustment that makes you wonder whether there’s a better way.  CARTA may be the better way for you.

For $50, you can take unlimited rides on all CARTA routes with our 31 Day Unlimited Ride Pass. You can commute to work, visit friends, go downtown or to the mall and leave your car in the driveway.

CARTA has 16 routes serving Chattanooga, with 7 Park & Ride lots, including Eastgate, Northgate and Hamilton Place.

The buses are wheelchair accessible and have bike racks. For more information about routes near you, click below or call the CARTA Information Line at 423-629-1473 (TDD 624-4534).
