CATS Transit Center Shakeup Sparks Outrage

Big drama at Charlotte’s uptown bus depot: CATS is shutting down all the businesses at the transit center, claiming it’ll boost safety after two recent fatalities. But regulars are fuming, saying closing shops won’t fix crime or fare issues—just makes life harder for commuters and longtime hangout crews. Riders say broken fare boxes and random rule enforcement are the real problems, not the food spots. Security? Apparently not great either. Will this actually help, or just push problems elsewhere? #Transportation #CharlotteNC #CATS
