Charlotte bus riders hope transit cash infusion will help restore CATS (WFAE)
Marc Moore prepares to board Route 9. It’s not his usual bus; during the week, he commutes to work in uptown from South Tryon near Olde Whitehall on Route 16.
“I ride all the time pretty much. I don’t own a car,” Moore said.
In general, Moore said he likes the bus. He commutes to work and church, so having reliable service seven days a week is important to him.
“I may be a transit nerd, but I also have narcolepsy,” Moore said. “So, I can’t actually drive — like, transit is my option.”
He rode the bus with City Council member Marjorie Molina and Mayor Pro Tem Dante Anderson. Nonprofit Sustain Charlotte organized the bus ride with the council members to educate folks on how to ride using the CATS app.
