Hi there!

I can't seem to find information on buses that will get me from Memphis (specifically the airport) to Clarksdale, MS. Would anyone be able to give me bus companies I can check out? Greyhound doesn't seem to do this route.

Also, are there buses or trains from Clarksdale to NOLA?

Thanks for any help!

Greenwood MS (52 miles) is the closest Amtrak station.
Have you checked Trailways or any other bus company?
What is the sudden attraction of Clarksdale MS?

You might could get to New Orleans on Megabus, but looks like you'd have to go through Atlanta, and the Memphis stop is not near the airport. Plus I don't think you could get to Clarksdale.

I see you're from Canada, so you may or may not know (forgive me if you do!) that the South doesn't have great public transit in general. Even in the big cities, most people have cars and get around that way.

@tomfuller - Clarksdale is part of the "Mississippi Blues Trail". There's a couple festivals happening there/around there in October.

@Jent103 - Thanks for the info! Unfortunately the logistics of getting around Memphis-Clarksdale-NOLA was a lot more expensive and time consuming than anticipated (esp. with the lack of adequate public transportation). Heading straight to NOLA instead

You can take Amtrak from Memphis to NOLA and get off at stops such as Greenwood for a night of fun.
