Getting Around Charlotte: Guide to Public Transportation

Steve Proehl / Getty Images  

While still a car-centric city with some of the worst traffic in the Southeast, Charlotte offers a variety of affordable and convenient public transportation options. The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is comprised of over 70 routes incorporating both buses and light rail. Service includes all of Mecklenburg County—including to and from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport —as well as neighboring cities of Cabarrus, Gaston and Union in North Carolina as well as York in South Carolina. Navigating the system is fairly easy and a great way to see the Queen City and popular attractions like museums in Uptown, breweries in South End, and art galleries in NoDa.

How to Ride the Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS)

From the Sprinter bus to and from the airport and the city center to the LYNX Blue Line light rail which operates nearly 10 miles of track between I-485 South and the UNC-Charlotte main campus to more than 70 local bus routes, Charlotte has a variety of options for traveling through the city.

• Fares:  One-way fares , which includes the Sprinter bus between downtown and the airport as well as LYNX light rail, are $2.20 for adults and $1.10 for seniors (over 62) as well as children, students in K-12 grades with valid ID, and those with disabilities. Round trip fares are $4.40 and $2.20, respectively, with one-day unlimited rides costing $6.60, weekly unlimited rides $30.80, and unlimited monthly rides costing $88. Consider purchasing an unlimited day pass if visiting several locations along the light rail or bus system in a single day. Note that round-trip tickets must begin and end at the same station and are only valid for 90 minutes.
• How to Pay: Passes can be purchased online in advance via the CATS Pass app using a credit or debit card. You can also purchase a pass while boarding the bus or light rail, but you'll need exact change. Passes are also sold at several area grocery stores. For a full list of places to purchase passes, consult the CATS website .
• Routes and Hours (Buses):  The Sprinter bus (Route 5) runs to and from Charlotte-Douglas International Airport every 20 minutes on Monday through Friday from 5:05 a.m. to 12:59 a.m. and every half hour from Saturday to Sunday from 5:05 a.m. to 12:55 a.m. The Route 591 (Airport Connector) bus runs between the airport and Archdale, Tyvola, and Woodlawn LYNX Blue Line Stations daily between 5 a.m. and midnight every 20 to 30 minutes. The city's 70 additional local bus routes, including the North Meck Village Rider and Route 7Q, operate Monday through Friday between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. On New Year's Day, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, CATS operates on a Sunday schedule. On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and the day after Thanksgiving, the system operates on a Saturday schedule.
• Routes and Hours (Light Rail): The LYNX Blue Line light rail is 18.9 miles long and runs from I-485 at South Boulevard to UNC-Charlotte's main campus. The system includes 26 stations (11 with park and ride options) and operates seven days a week, with weekday service between 5:26 a.m. to 1:26 a.m. every 7.5 minutes during rush hours and every 15 minutes during non-peak times. Weekend service is every 20 minutes during the day and every half hour in late evenings. Holiday hours are the same as bus hours listed above.
• Service Alerts: Area construction as well as certain special events can disrupt normal service, so check the CATS website or CATS Pass app for the latest schedule information.
• Transfers:  Transfers are free for standard bus rides and must be requested in advance and used within 90 minutes.There is an upcharge starting at $0.80 for express route and other higher-fare transfers.
• Accessibility: In addition to half-fare discounts for those with disabilities, all CATS buses and shuttles offer accessibility features like ramps, secure areas for wheelchairs, and priority seating. For more information on options for passengers with disabilities, visit CATS website .

Taxis and Ride-Hailing Apps 

While taxis aren't as readily available in Charlotte as in major cities, several companies like Crown Cab and Yellow Taxi Co. operate in the city and can be found at the airport and other busier parts of town. Note the flat rate between the airport and downtown is $25. Other fares start at $2.50 with $0.50 for each 1/5 mile beyond that. There is an upcharge for more than two passengers.

Popular ride-hailing apps like Uber and Lyft are also available throughout the city and the suburbs and are the best way of getting around if not walking, using public transportation, or renting a car.

Renting a Car

Renting a car can be a cheaper option if traveling with a group or if you're planning to venture outside the city to local destinations like Lake Norman(a 40-minute drive from downtown) and Carowinds (15-minute drive from downtown). It's also great option if extending your trip to other destinations in North Carolina, like Asheville (two hours away), Raleigh (two hours, 30 minutes away), or its several pristine beaches.

Major rental car companies like Alamo, Enterprise, and Hertz have outposts at the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport as well as in Uptown, South Park, and Collingwood. Keep in mind that parking downtown can be expensive, but there are several city-operated and private lots for those who choose to do so and plan to drive in from other parts of town. For those staying further out from downtown, note that eleven of the light rail stations like East/West Boulevard and Sugar Creek offer park and ride options, which can save you hefty parking fees at popular attractions.

Tips for Getting Around Charlotte

• Be mindful of rush hour traffic. Charlotte has some of the worst traffic in the Southeast, so be prepared for traffic jams during rush hour (7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. weekdays) and delays on major roads like I-485 and I-77 as well as in the downtown area. Note that south central Charlotte from South Central Boulevard to the west and Monroe Road to the east contains more than half of the cities most congested streets. Traffic is also heavier during spring break and summer vacation. Use NCdot.gov for the latest in traffic updates and delays.
• Beware of special events, rain, and road construction. From Carolina Panthers games to summer crowds at Carowinds, the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and other attractions, any number of special events or circumstances like spring showers or winter storms could result in road closures or delays. Check the city's website for the latest traffic alerts.
• Be aware of cell phone driving laws. Note that while local laws allow for cell phone use while driving, it is permitted only for voice calls, so refrain from texting, e-mailing, or other activities on your phone while driving. Cell phone use is completely prohibited for drivers under 18 years of age.
• Rent a bicycle . Charlotte B-Cycle has several rental stations located throughout the city, including in Uptown, Belmont, and South End. For $5 per every 30 minutes, bikes can be used and returned to any B-station. They are a great way to explore the city's parks and greenways or travel to and from a number of neighborhood breweries, restaurants, boutiques, galleries, and music venues.
• When in doubt, walk or opt for CATS. At least in Uptown and other nearby neighborhoods, walking or taking CATS light rail is usually faster than driving and navigating parking.

Getting Around Charlotte

The best way to get around Charlotte is by car if you're planning to explore beyond Uptown. You can rent a car at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) – located about 7 miles west of the city center – or you can take a taxi and rent a car once you're in town. Taxi fares from the airport to Charlotte's downtown area cost a flat fee of $25; ride-hailing services such as Uber and Lyft also service the city. You can also take a shuttle – the CATS Sprinter bus – from the airport to Charlotte's Uptown area for $2.20. But the low cost comes with a longer ride due to the multiple stops the bus makes in between the airport and city center.

If you're planning to stick to Uptown or the neighborhoods surrounding the city center, you can rely on the city's LYNX light rail, which spans nearly 20 miles and 26 stations. Charlotte also has a bike-sharing system, Charlotte Joy Rides, that is convenient for exploring Uptown and surrounding neighborhoods.

GAME NOTES: South Florida | Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (March 28, 2024) – The University of South Florida Bulls hit the road for their first conference series away from home this season with a three-game set at Charlotte. The series was originally set for single games on March 28-30, but weather kept the Bulls grounded in Tampa until Thursday afternoon. The teams have adjusted the schedule to play a doubleheader on Friday and a single game on Saturday.

South Florida and Charlotte were formerly mates in the Sun Belt, Metro League and Conference USA and will meet again as the 49ers have joined The American in 2023-24. It marks the Bulls first trip to Charlotte since 2005. The 49ers more recently traveled to Tampa for opening weekend in 2022.

The Bulls are currently playing a five-game road swing and are in the midst of playing 12 games in 16 days from March 15-30. USF played five games in six days last week and will play four total in five days this week.

Drew Brutcher enters the weekend leading the NCAA in walks (33) and ranks 22nd in the country in OBP (.542). The slugger, who ranks sixth all-time in program history for home runs (34), is one walk away from tying for 10th in program history for walks (126).

Collectively, the Bulls rank 47th in the nation in walks (135) and are 14th in stolen bases (56). USF's new offensive approach has been on full display this season after recording just 39 stolen bases in all of 2023.

Frontier Airlines plane evacuated over odor, passengers offloaded using emergency slides

A Frontier Airlines flight headed to Orlando from Charlotte was evacuated due to a strong smell. The plane was carrying more than 200 passengers on board.

Frontier Airlines, in a statement to USA TODAY, said that as Flight 1759 was in the process of boarding at Charlotte Douglas International Airport Wednesday, "a strong odor was detected throughout the aircraft," prompting the captain to issue an evacuation notice "as a matter of precaution."

"Passengers exited the aircraft via both the jet bridge and evacuation slides," said the airline, adding that all 226 passengers who were offloaded were accommodated on alternate flights. One person was injured while coming down a slide, a Frontier Airlines spokesperson said.

Flights and strong odors: Yes, you could inhale toxic fumes during your flight: What to know

Origins of strong odor that forced evacuation remain unclear, Frontier says

It is not immediately clear what the smell was, and initial reports indicate that no visible smoke or fire was observed, said Frontier.

"We extend our sincere apologies and concern for those who were impacted and are investigating the cause of the incident," Frontier Airlines said.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA) remind passengers how to properly travel with firearms

IDAHO FALLS, IDAHO - The Idaho Falls Regional Airport (IDA) and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) want to remind passengers that firearms should not travel in carry-on baggage.

So far this year, TSA officers have found five firearms - all of them loaded - during the routine X-ray screening of carry-on luggage at IDA’s security checkpoint. This compares to three firearm discoveries by TSA officers at IDA in all of 2023.

The most recent firearm discovery occurred Tuesday, March 26 around 11:20 a.m. at IDA. TSA officers detected a Smith & Wesson M&P Bodyguard handgun in the carry-on bag of a female traveler ticketed for travel to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

All travelers must understand that firearms are strictly prohibited in carry-on luggage. Failure to comply with this regulation can result in severe consequences, including legal action and potential arrest.

“As the busy travel season approaches, Idaho Falls Regional Airport anticipates a significant surge in passenger traffic,” said Idaho Falls Regional Airport Director Ian Turner. “Each traveler's priority is reaching their destination safely and promptly. However, amidst the excitement of travel, it's crucial to remember to check your luggage before heading to the airport.”

When a TSA officer sees the image of a firearm on the X-ray screen, TSA immediately notifies the local airport law enforcement agency, which responds to the security checkpoint. A law enforcement officer removes the firearm from the X-ray tunnel and removes the traveler from the security checkpoint. What happens to the firearm and the traveler is up to the discretion of the airport law enforcement agency.

TSA can impose a fine of up to nearly $15,000 for violations, and attempting to pass through a checkpoint with a firearm can incur hefty penalties and disrupt or entirely spoil travel plans.

“Any traveler who brings a firearm in carry-on luggage to the checkpoint will find out very quickly that this is an expensive and inconvenient mistake. Not only will the traveler be delayed as they speak with a law enforcement officer, but TSA will levy a heft civil penalty against the  traveler for their actions,” said TSA Federal Security Director for Idaho Andy Coose. “Travelers who bring a firearm to the checkpoint will not be eligible for TSA PreCheck® screening and, furthermore, they will receive enhanced screening to ensure that they don’t further pose a security threat. There is no upside to bringing a firearm in carry-on luggage to the airport.”

Among the factors TSA considers when determining the civil penalty amount include whether the firearm was loaded and whether there was accessible ammunition. Even if a traveler has a concealed weapons permit, firearms are not permitted in carry-on luggage.

Passengers are permitted to travel with firearms in checked baggage only if they are unloaded and packed in a hard-sided, locked case. The locked case should be placed in a checked bag and declared to the airline at the ticket counter. TSA has details on how to properly travel with a firearm posted on its website.

In 2023, TSA officers discovered 6,737 firearms in carry-on luggage at 262 different airports including four airports in Idaho. In addition to IDA, those airports where firearms were detected were Boise Airport; Friedman Memorial Airport and Pocatello Regional Airport.
