Circulator Route Options
East Bound Route
The route would be extended south to the Franklin
Transit Center, where riders could transfer to other
local routes. This would enable riders to use the well-
appointed waiting room at the center, and not have
to use their arriving bus as a “shelter” while waiting
for their connection The Factory. The layover location
would be at the cutout in front of the Transit Center,
with the bus proceeding back northward via South
Margin, Cummins, and Church Streets. Instead of
ending at the Galleria, the route would end at the
Williamson Medical Center. The entire route north
of Liberty Pike would be replaced by the new Brown
Route. The bus would layover at the Franklin Transit
Center.
South Bound Route
This route would operate the same way as in the Flex
Route option.
Brown Route
The new route would operate as a dual direction
loop covering the entire Cool Springs study area. The
route would start at the Williamson Medical Center
and would travel via Edward Curd Lane–Carothers
Parkway–Liberty Pike–Mallory Lane–West McEwen
Drive–Cool Springs Boulevard–Mallory Lane, entering
the Galleria property via South Springs Drive. Beyond
the Galleria, the route would use Bakers Bridge
Avenue and Carothers Parkway to return to the
Williamson Medical Center. When Columbia State
Community College opens its campus on Liberty
Pike in 2016, the route will serve that location as well.
Some trips in the peak periods only (when headways
are more frequent than hourly) would operate via
Aspen Grove Drive–Seaboard Lane–Duke Drive–Mary
Lindsay Polk Drive–Seaboard Lane–Mallory Station
Road, rejoining the main route at Mallory Lane. The
bus would layover at the Williamson Medical Center.
The Williamson Medical Center would see transfer
possibilities to Route 91X, the East Bound Route, and
the South Bound Route.
Route 91X
This route would operate the same way as in the Flex
option.
Night Route
This route would operate the same way as in the
Arterial and Flex options.
