History
Public transit in Clarksville began with horsecars in 1885, with the Clarksville Street Railway Co. In 1896, the horsecars were replaced with streetcars, which in turn were replaced by buses in 1928.[3] Numerous changes and improvements to the system took place in 2021. In March, CTS and Nashville State Community College teamed up to allow Nashville State students to ride for free.[4] In September, CTS made route information available on Google Maps,[5] and in December, CTS began offering mobile fares through Token Transit.[6] However, despite these improvements, Route 1000 was cancelled in early 2022 due to low ridership.[7]
