Getting around in Knoxville, TN

Public Transportation 

 

The public transportation service in Knoxville is provided by Knoxville Area Transit, or KAT, which runs a bus service throughout the City of Knoxville and parts of Knox County, and the Knoxville Trolley Lines, which run several free downtown and University routes during business hours, including a ''Late Line'', route on Friday and Saturday nights, but only during the class sessions at UT.

 

Getting around using the bus may be the most convenient option for Knoxville visitors who are on a ''short'' budget, but, some of the bus stops are served once at one hour, and therefore, exploring the city by bus may not be the best way, most of the previous visitors agreeing upon the fact that renting a car is more than necessary to get around in Knoxville.

 

The intercity bus service is offered by Greyhound, which links Knoxville to various cities in the region.
