CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is expanding some of its bus schedules to ensure riders stay on time. 

CATS announced that starting Monday, Route 57 - Archdale will add later weeknight service and a Sunday route. In addition, CATS will shorten Route 57 to Forest Point Boulevard and Arrowood Road. This change means service to the Forest Point business park will be discontinued.
