CATS To Alter, Discontinue Routes In Effort To Improve Bus System

The Charlotte Area Transit System will make service adjustments on more than 20 bus routes, changing the transit schedule for those routes beginning Oct.1.

CATS said the changes are part of the second phase of “Envision My Ride,” a city initiative to redesign the bus system. Over the summer, the transit system held a series of meetings and conducted surveys on the proposed changes — which CATS said should have a positive impact on riders.

“This schedule change will improve CATS’ bus system by increasing cross-town connections, enhancing bus and light rail connections, and providing increased frequency and direct service,” CATS said.

The major changes will change or extend routes 2, 18 and 21. Routes 25, 45X and 590 will be discontinued and replaced by other routes.

CATS will also make changes to routes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 16, 19, 20, 30, 34, 56, 61X, 62X, 97, 99, and 235.

In addition to those changes, CATS said over 600 bus stops “will experience altered or discontinued service.”
