Transit & Bike Share

If you don’t want to drive, bus, light rail and bike- or scooter-shares are available to transport you into and throughout Uptown. Charlotte Joy Rides is Charlotte’s urban bike-sharing program, made possible in part by Blue Cross Blue Shield NC. Purchase your access pass online or at one of the 33 stations. 

Scooters

Scooter-sharing is also a popular way to get around Uptown. Multiple vendors have popped up around Charlotte, and rentable scooters are steps away. Directions to rent are right on the scooter.

CATS

Perhaps the most carefree (and car-free) way to get around is via CATS buses or light rail. Buses operate from 4:49 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., Monday through Saturday, and 5:25 a.m. to 2:00 a.m. on Sundays.
