Meg Fencil with the pro-transit group Sustain Charlotte said CATS needs to build a system where people don’t have to spend more than 20 minutes or so at a bus stop.
“If the network is not functioning as a network, it’s difficult to call some routes a failure,” she said.
She also said the city hasn’t spent enough on the bus system.
“Frankly, (there has been) a lack of investment in the transit system,” Fencil said. “As Charlotte was investing in rail service, we did not make a concurrent investment in the bus system to meet the needs of a growing population.”
