NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — WeGo is adding three new zones to its rideshare program, the Adventure Science Center, Bell Road and Opry Mills.

If you find it challenging to get to and from the bus stop, this program provides discounted trips to transit stops from Uber and Mobility Solutions.

How does it work?

All you have to do is download a reusable voucher on the WeGo website. You will receive up to $8 off each WeGo Link ride booked with Uber — usually this means a ride only costs $2, according to WeGo.

You can also access the WeGo voucher using the Transit app.

Reminder: Riders need to have QuickTicket or exact cash in order to ride the bus after getting to the bus stop. WeGo says Mobility Solutions is available for riders who need a wheelchair, would like to use cash for their trip, or are 17 years old or younger.

Nashville pet foster groups deal with overcrowding

It’s a sad reality that area animal shelters and non-profit rescue organizations face constant overcrowding -- with so many dogs, cats and other animals waiting for a forever home. Jason Lamb reports here that Metro leaders are working with those groups – including Critter Cavalry – to find solutions. I’ve fostered a dog from Critter Cavalry, so I understand the need is great. And I found my pup Domino through another local group, Proverbs Animal Rescue. Ultimately, it starts with all of us. Getting more dogs and cats spayed or neutered can help control the pet population – and ease the burden.
