ROUND-TRIP TICKETS:

      • The first ride, the ride away from the station where the ticket was purchased, has to be completed within ninety minutes.  After ninety minutes, a patron can no longer use that ticket to ride away from the station where the ticket was purchased.  If a fare inspector finds a patron riding away from the station of purchase outside the ninety minute window, that person could be subject to a citation. The second ride, back towards the station of purchase, can be taken any time before the end of the service day in which the ticket was purchased.

COLLEGE STUDENTS:

      • College students are considered adults and thus must posses a valid adult ticket when riding.  Most of the area colleges and universities have pass purchase programs through CATS that provide students with reduced prices when purchasing those passes through the college / university.

Transfer:
Ask the conductor for a transfer if you know you'll be making several stops along the line before you reach your final destination.  You can use the transfer to get back on the Charlotte Trolley without paying as long as you are traveling in the same direction.  You may also use it transfer to CATS bus service or the LYNX Blue Line.

  • Prices and schedules are subject to change.
