White v. Metropolitan Government of Nashville & Davidson County

OPINION

KOCH, Judge.

This appeal involves a passenger who fell while riding in a city bus. The passenger filed suit against the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County in the Circuit Court for Davidson County. The trial court, sitting without a jury as required by the Governmental Tort Liability Act,1 concluded that the driver of the bus had been negligent and awarded the passenger $24,-000. The Metropolitan Government has appealed. We have determined that the evidence does not support the conclusion that the bus driver was negligent and, therefore, reverse the trial court.
