Memphis Transit -> Trolley
Main St Line

Memphis Trolley

This line could be considered a pioneer in bringing back heritage streetcars as the primary means of transport to re-invigorate failing downtowns.

The 2 mile line runs the length of Main St. The central part of it is in an exclusive pedestrian/trolley mall. The north and south ends are run with mixed traffic. The two outer ends connect with the single-track Riverfront Line. The Madison line has a unique single track with a reverse move junction with the Main St. Line at Madison (go figure), The trolley shops are located at the north end.

North of Madison to the north transit hub there are 3 service northbound, Madison/Riverfront/Main. There are times when there are streetcars every 2 minutes northbound. There are no southbound Riverfront cars as the Riverfront runs as a one-way loop.
