Get around

By Foot
The downtown Macon area is very walkable, however, the city does sprawl somewhat, and traveling anywhere outside of the immediate downtown area requires an automobile.

By Bus
The Macon Transit Authority operates a fleet of buses that traverse the city. Regular fare is one dollar. The MTA also operates the MITSI (Macon Intown Trolley Service, Inc.), which costs twenty-five cents and offers guided tours of the historic downtown area.

By Car
This is the easiest way to travel through Macon, especially as many of the tourist destinations like the Museum of Arts and Sciences and the Indian Mounds are outside the downtown area.
