Published on October 21, 2025
Huntsville Transit is offering music fans a safe, convenient way to get to and from downtown to The Orion Amphitheater for three nights of Billy Strings concerts on Oct. 23-25.
The Orion Express will run every 15 minutes from 4-7 p.m. and return riders to their destination from 9 p.m. until one hour after the event ends.
Pick-up and drop-off locations are as follows:
- Lumberyard Parking Lot (Cleveland Avenue/Meridian Street)
- Garage D (Lincoln Street)
- 106 Jefferson Hotel (Jefferson Street)
- Embassy Suites, AC Hotel and Hampton Inn & Suites (Monroe Street)
Round-trip tickets are $6 per person; seniors and individuals with disabilities can ride for $3.
The Orion Express is a collaborative effort between the City, Downtown Huntsville, Inc. and The Orion Amphitheater.
“There’s tremendous value in being able to get to and from The Orion without having to worry about finding a parking spot or waiting in traffic when the show is over,” said Quisha Bryant, Director of Huntsville’s Parking & Public Transportation Department. “We’re thrilled to provide this option for residents and visitors alike who are fans of Billy Strings.”
How to ride
Tickets can be purchased through the Token Transit app, available for iOS and Android users. New users will need to create an account and then verify their information. Once that’s done, the user should click “Buy Passes” and select “Adult” under the “Rider” section. Users should then click the “Orion Express to Billy Strings Concert” option to purchase the fare.
Riders can also purchase their fare the old-fashioned way by dropping $6 in the farebox upon boarding; however, there will be no change available.
