I do not know the price comparisons, and of course, it would depend on the type of vehicle, mileage, and length of rental, etc. that you would require for your visit, but there are several options available to rent a vehicle in Memphis. Leave a Comment

The Memphis Area Transit Authority operates three downtown lines of vintage street cars or trolleys. They are a great way to get around to many of the sights in and around the downtown area and also just to take to get nice views of the Mississippi River. The trolley fleet is mostly made up of restored Portuguese and Australian street cars some dating back to 1909. They look brand spanking new and are very attractive. Fares are $1.00 per ride or you can get a 2-trip pass for $1.50, a one-day pass for $3.50, or a 3-day pass for $8.00. There are also other pricing options and discounts for seniors and persons with disabilities.
Service is pretty extensive as well. All three lines operate 7 days a week with the more popular Riverfront and Main Street lines running every 10 minutes. Go to the website to get the details on schedule. This website also has a nice write-up on the history of this restored line: http://world.nycsubway.org/us/memphis/ Leave a Comment

There are two trolley lines in Memphis. One is a circle which goes along Riverfront and around to Main. In the middle of Main, you can transfer to the Madison Street Trolley.
We got off at Madison. There was no trolley stop station for transferring to the Madison car, but eventually, one came and we transferred. The main feature of the Madison car was going by the Wonderbread bakery, which you can tell by smell alone. At the end of the line, we paid again (another $1.00) and got another transfer. We picked up a lady in a wheelchair when we went over Presley Blvd on the way back Leave a Comment

One of the first things we saw when we came across the bridge to Memphis, was the monorail station near the visitor's center. Each time we went by, we tried to figure out how it would work. It did look like we could walk across above the monorail.
According to my tourist guide, the monorail would start running in March, so while we were driving in, I called the Mud Island people, and they didn't answer the phone, so I called the visitor's center. They said that the train was not running, and no one was sure whether it would open even in April.
So we never got to see how it would work, and we never were able to visit Mud Island either.
The website says: Don’t miss the opportunity to experience great views of downtown Memphis, the Mississippi River and Mud Island River Park. Step aboard a cabin and let our Swiss-made monorail whisk you across the harbor to Mud Island River Park. Traveling at an average speed of 7 miles per hour, each cabin can carry up to 180 passengers for the exciting 1/3 mile trip. Leave a Comment
