If you haven't found itcomagic's original "Whatsa MATA" (GCWV8D),
make sure to add it to your search list. I have enjoyed so many of
his caches and wanted to pay tribute to him with a MATA caches of
my own. Thanks, itcomagic!

Memphis is a well-planned city and the streets are
fairly easy to negotiate, except at peak business hours when things
get downright hectic. Public transport is provided by the Memphis
Area Transit Authority (MATA). They also operate the Trolley, 2
buses in the downtown area.
The famous Main Street Trolley lines run up and
down Main Street from Auction Street in the North to J.O Patterson
in the South. These antique trolleys also make a Riverfront Loop
that gives a close-up view of the Mississippi River, the Pyramid
and Mud Island. It also provides access to a variety of attractions
including Downtown cafes, Beale Street and the National Civil
Rights Museum.
As with the others in this series your GPSr will lead you to a
MATA bus stop. Located at this stop is a container ready for your
signature. Muggles shouldn't be an issue here as I have never seen
anyone using this stop. However there will be lots of automobile
traffic on the nearby street. While the container is non-standard
this shouldn't be too difficult of a find. I'm rating the terrain
as a 1.5 as I am unsure whether a person in a wheelchair would be
able to make the find.
