CATS buses

Nine streets, nine routes

Charlotte reads as corridors — Beatties Ford, Central Avenue, Park Road — and a bus is how you read one. These are the nine routes the guide can vouch for, each checked against the agency's own feed for the stops it actually serves. The two rail lines are a different animal and have their own pages.

The feed is live and no bus is currently reporting on these nine — which is the normal answer outside service hours, not an outage.

How this list was built

A place is on a corridor when it sits within 400 metres of a stop the route actually serves, read from CATS's own GTFS feed — not when its address happens to share a street name. That distinction is not pedantry: Kings Mountain National Military Park is on a Park Road too, forty-five minutes away in South Carolina. Distances are straight-line, so treat them as proximity rather than a walking route.
