Getting around in Memphis??

We are contemplating a trip to Memphis in February. We will be driving a 32' class C, sans toad. We are staying across the river at a campground. Are there any suggestions for getting public transportation into and around town? I.E. Park and Ride lots with bus service, etc. The campground people weren't too helpful.

Thanks,

    Roy Ken, next time try using the other bridge as there are 2 not one that will get you over the Mississippi river.

    One of those towns on I40 and I think it is Memphis and I was going West Bound and had to make a loop around off I40 to get on a South loop. After I got it all straight again and merrily on my way around the bypass I noticed a whole bunch of black skid marks on the payment... Then I look up and see I am two lanes over to make a right hand blend to continue on around the town... The skid marks are from big trucks locking it down to let the folks make the right hand blend I guess...

    Maybe that was Nashville... Sort of scary without any warning haha...

    The I40 East big road coming from Little Rock is another big scary place just before you get to Memphis... All kinds of activity on and off of I40... Big Trucks everywhere haha...

    They need to build a real bypass around Memphis for sure... I guess feeding the one bridge over the Ole Miss is the problem...

    We lived near Memphis for 10 years. The two suggestions I have for you is to look for a Memphis public transportation website with details on routes or fares. The easier solution is to use a Uber. If you are going to downtown, it is a pretty short trip. To visit Graceland, you could do it on your way in or out of town.
