What this tracks
This dataset records the percentage of Memphis Area Transit Authority (MATA) buses, MATAplus paratransit vehicles, and trolleys that arrived on time each month.
Why it matters to you
If you rely on MATA buses to commute to work, this data tells you how likely your route is to run late — helping you decide whether to leave earlier or explore alternatives. For small businesses near trolley stops, knowing on-time performance helps assess whether promoting trolley access will reliably bring customers. Parents can check if MATAplus meets its schedule before trusting it for children’s medical appointments.
