Effective: Dec. 11, 2025


The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) is happy to announce that the beloved Holiday Bus will be rolling back into service to celebrate the season! 

Now through Jan. 9, 2026, a CATS bus wrapped in a festive holiday theme will be deployed across various routes throughout the Charlotte area. 

The Gift to Riders: If you happen to spot and board this special vehicle, your ticket to ride is included! This initiative is a small token of gratitude from CATS to our loyal customers, aiming to bring good tidings and make the holiday commute a little brighter. 

CATS is committed to celebrating the community, and we look forward to sharing this unique holiday tradition with customers across the region.
