CATS suspend light rail and streetcar service this weekend

CATS said the LYNX Blue Line and CityLYNX Gold Line will be out of service on Nov. 13 and 14.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) will suspend all rail and streetcar services Saturday and Sunday to conduct annual maintenance on the LYNX Blue Line and CityLYNX Gold Line.

“Regular maintenance is essential to preserving a transit system,” CATS CEO John Lewis said.  “By suspending all rail service, our team is able to perform repairs and upkeep while minimizing overall disruptions to riders. This annual rail maintenance will keep our infrastructure in a state of good repair for many decades to come.”

Maintenance work will include track maintenance, drainage improvements, painting, landscaping, and grade crossing work.

All light rail and streetcar stops will be accessible via LYNX Connector and CityLYNX Connector bus service.  Each station will have signage directing you to the nearest bus stop.  CATS will be using many existing bus stops for the LYNX and CityLYNX Connector Service.  Look for the bus stops that say "LYNX Connector" near the LYNX Blue Line and “CityLYNX Connector” near the CityLYNX Gold Line.
