NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — WeGo Public Transit is preparing to help families celebrate Nashville's Let Freedom Sing! Fourth of July event with special transit services. However, regular weekday WeGo Star tickets and monthly passes will not be accepted for the July 4 train.
The special WeGo train service will be running both to and from downtown. All bus routes will operate on a Sunday schedule, with final departures at 11:15 p.m. Bus riders are encouraged to use the WeGo Central transit center downtown for the bus ride home.
To purchase July 4 train tickets, visit the Tickets Nashville website. Round-trip tickets will cost $15, plus a $2 processing fee. They cannot be purchased at local train station TVMs. Children four or younger will not need a ticket to board, but they must sit on a parent or guardian's lap.

Train riders will receive one ticket for the full round-trip and must present it to receive a colored wristband for the return. The return train will leave Riverfront Station one hour after the conclusion of the fireworks show.
