mataplus is a shared ride paratransit service designed to meet the transportation needs of persons with disabilities in the memphis service area. the service covers the same area as the mata bus system and operate during the same days and hours as the fixed-route bus system in the same area. the service area extends three-fourths (3/4) of a mile beyond the fixed-routes, which means that anywhere beyond the area mentioned can not qualify for mataplus services. two types of services are offered through mataplus: advance/demand response, which allows riders to book reservations in advance, and a subscription service that allows riders to use the service to take them to their destination and back.
