Franklin Transit offering half-price fares for teens and tweens

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Okay parents, summer is just days away and we know some of you may be dreading playing chauffeur to your kids.

But for families in Williamson County, I wanted to let you know that your teen or tween can get around easier this summer!

Starting today, kids ages 12 to 18 can ride Franklin Transit for half-price!

That means one-way fares are just 50-cents.

There are more than 100 stops, including the Rec Center, the Factory, the Galleria Mall, the Library and more.

The deal runs until kids go back to school in August.

After years of hearing 'no,' this Lipscomb player finally heard a 'yes'

A lesson in never giving up: Jack's story will have you believing dreams really can come true. It's so uplifting to hear those around him talk about his determination and then to see it rewarded. Not many teens would email coaches every week just to hear a 'no,' but Jack did. And eventually, it all pays off.
