Nashville is not a city known for robust public transportation — and it seems that nearly everyone has an opinion on what needs to improve. There’s an impressive lack of sidewalks, bus routes and protected bike lanes, among other challenges.
The options may be improving but are still limited. For many residents, the public transit options we do have are essential. For others, riding the bus is a lifestyle choice. In this episode, we hear from people without vehicles on how they navigate Nashville and why they take WeGo. Then we talk with transportation experts who are working to make our community more safe and accessible for everyone.
First up, though, we talk with Marianna Bacallao, WPLN's All Things Considered Host, about anti-trans bathroom bill lawsuits — where they stand and what to watch moving forward.
Guests:
Marianna Bacallao, WPLN's All Things Considered host
Ron Wynn, freelance writer
Christopher Flor, Exceptional Education coach with Metro Nashville Public Schools
Cathy Carrillo, education and engagement manager at Walk Bike Nashville
Jessica Dauphin, director of Transit Alliance of Middle Tennessee
