====Mass transit====
[[File:Macon Transit Authority MAC City Bus.jpg|thumb|right|MTA-MAC City Bus]]

The [[Macon Transit Authority]] (MTA) is Macon's public-transit system, operating the Public Transit City Bus System throughout Macon-Bibb County. As of 2022, the MTA has a total of 10 city bus routes, operating out of the [[Terminal Station (Macon, Georgia)|Terminal Station]] hub.<ref name="ridingMacon">{{cite news |last1=Eason |first1=Jenna |title=Riding the bus in Macon isn't so hard.

====Intercity bus and rail====
[[Greyhound Lines]] provides intercity bus service. In 2019, they moved from a stand-alone bus station to the Terminal Station to be in the same hub as the local mass transit busses.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Kousouris |first1=Abby |title='It's all here in the same building:' Greyhound station relocates to Macon Transit hub |url=https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/greyhound-station-relocates-to-macon-transit-hub/93-75c3b023-c5a7-4161-91ae-8e4b6b7ce0e8 |access-date=29 May 2022 |work=13wmaz.com |date=31 July 2019}}</ref>

Macon grew as a center of rail transport after the 1846 opening of the [[Macon and Western Railroad]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/Community/NS%20History/timeline.html |title=Norfolk Southern – The Thoroughbred of Transportation &#124; Creating green jobs shipping freight by rail |publisher=Nscorp.com |access-date=2012-02-29 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120315214622/http://www.nscorp.com/nscportal/nscorp/Community/NS%20History/timeline.html |archive-date=March 15, 2012 }}</ref>  Two of the most note-worthy train companies operating through the city were the [[Central of Georgia Railway]] and the [[Southern Railway (U.S.)|Southern Railway]].  The city continued to be served by passenger trains at Terminal Station until 1971. The [[Frisco Railroad]]'s ''[[Kansas City–Florida Special]]'' served the city until 1964.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.american-rails.com/kansas-city-florida-special.html | title="Kansas City-Florida Special" (Train): Timetable, Schedule }}</ref> The Southern's ''[[Royal Palm (train)|Royal Palm]]'' ran from Cincinnati, through Macon, to [[Miami, Florida]] until 1966. (A truncated route served to Valdosta, Georgia until 1970.) The Central of Georgia's ''[[Nancy Hanks (train)|Nancy Hanks]]'' ran through Macon, from [[Atlanta]] to [[Savannah, Georgia|Savannah]] until 1971.
Since at least 2006 Macon has been included in the proposed [[Georgia Rail Passenger Program]] to restore inter-city rail service but as of 2020, Georgia lacks any inter-city passenger rail service other than the federally funded inter-state [[Amtrak]] services. In 2022, [[Amtrak]] announced a new fifteen-year plan to expand its services, which Macon was included in.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.13wmaz.com/article/news/federal-infrastructure-plan-could-bring-rail-stop-to-macon/93-c7b01134-e262-4ae6-a345-58a278b4969c|title = People in Macon could soon catch a train to Atlanta, Savannah under new federal infrastructure plan|date = April 4, 2021}}</ref>
