    White the Gold Line originally used heritage-style streetcars when phase one opened in 2015, the…read morelaunch of phase two in 2021 brought with it a transition to modern, low-floor streetcar vehicles that offer better accessibility, air conditioning, and smoother boarding. These new cars look much like the same cars as are used on the Blue Line that runs from 485 to UNCC. The streetcars are clean and modern, with wide windows that make the ride feel open and connected to the city around you. It's convenient, especially if you're heading to Uptown or the hospitals along Elizabeth Avenue. The wait times between cars are usually reasonable but there's a small catch: there aren't any digital signs or audible announcements at the stops to tell you when the next streetcar is coming. I've found that Google Maps is helpful since it tracks the vehicles in real time and helps you estimate when to be at the platform. Once on board, it's a smooth, quiet ride that feels more like gliding than commuting. [Review 1436 of 2025 - 4507 in North Carolina - 24987 overall]

    I'm trying to paste the lynx to pictures of this tram but it's not working…read more This is the cutest tram ever! It may be slow but it gets you there in the end - much like myself. The drivers are friendly and the colors are probably the most adventurous and memorable of any of the trams I've seen in North America and there are quite a few. I didn't even know that Charlotte had one until I saw it chugging along one day while I was getting food. I made it a point to ride on the thing, and I have finally made that dream a reality. It's not San Francisco, but then Charlotte doesn't have all those hills (or pills) so just the existence of the tram is a huge reason for happiness.

    This place is HORRIBLE. I personally would've never stepped foot into this place as I'm not a fan…read moreof bus transportation, I'm all about the WHEELS UP (airplane). I have family who opted to take the bus to visit which lead me to this place for either a pick up or a drop off or both. I've even had to go inside (WoWZers) to wait with the passenger(s) in certain instances. The process is very disorganized and the customer service is at an ALL TIME LOW. The people employed act as if the paying customers owe them something when in all actuality they customers are the reason they are employed. The seating is old and unclean and the floors look as if they haven't had a CLEAN mop over them in years. It also reeks of a unpleasant scent. It's unfortunate that this is one of the venues that is available for affordable transit in Charlotte. I hope they get a facelift soon.

    Not an actual customer, but this past Saturday night my family and I had the displeasure of have to…read morewait on an Uber in the Greyhound parking lot after a concert. We were on the sidewalk on the far edge of the parking lot minding our on business and a women employee comes out yelling at us to stay in the grass or on the sidewalk and out of her parking lot. Now the grass is littered with glass liquor bottles and various other thrash items so we really can't stand in the grass, but we were all on the sidewalk. My young son needed to use the restroom so my husband walked him over to the station and she told him there was no public restroom there. The employee was a rude nasty human.

    This station on the north arm of the LYNX line sits in the middle of an up-and-coming residential…read moreneighborhood. Lots of construction here of condos and apartments and townhouses, but very few commercial businesses. There isn't a coffee shop or a restaurant very near to the station. The platforms for this station are fully handicapped accessible. There are some benches with a small amount of cover available. The platforms are on opposite sides of the tracks, so the doors of the train will open on the right side. There is no parking here other than some street parking, which for the moment isn't metered or marked very well. Parkwood is between 9th Street (towards uptown) and 25th Street (towards University). [Review 10239 overall, 2 of 2019.]

    I still remember when there was literally nothing that existed here. The construction in this area…read morein the past few years have been intense (and for the better in my opinion). Extending the Blue Line all the way to UNCC might have seemed excessive, but the success of the first segment really warrants the growing city's demand for public transportation. This station has some new neighbors! Most notably Optimist Hall. The way the track curves (you do go past it) but its a smart 1-2 minute walk. With the ongoing construction, it's probably not the most glamorous walk to get there, but the new apartments and other improvements will surely make the area a bustling hub of activity. Just like the other Lynx stations, the themes were designed by local artists. Plenty of bike rack locations (to encourage multi-modal forms of getting around). With everyone moving to Charlotte, it's actually really refreshing to not have to get in a car to get somewhere.

My husband and I stood there planning a date night in Charlotte just from seeing the interesting places that are built near the rail station. Being from NY, it is weird that there is no access point. Growing up in NY we have turnstiles and there is no honor system. I like it though. So many people get caught in a turnstile and miss there train. I brought our passes and just tucked them away.

First things first, does it do its job? Sure! The Light Rail Cars show up here just like any other stop to pick up and drop off passengers. It's located in a pretty busy section of Uptown, catering to the Hilton, Convention Center, NASCAR HoF, and both of the main Wells Fargo buildings. Upkeep is where it really suffers now. The colorful shelters that look so cute from afar show their age upon closer inspection, mostly bleached and cracked from the sun. They also do not offer much coverage from the rain. Fortunately, walking south on the platform gives you better coverage under a cut-out of the office building where the light rail tunnels thru. There is an elevator that brings you from street level to the elevated platform, I do not recommend it as it smells like someone has been using it as their personal restroom. I actually walked away from it once due to the smell. Stairs on either side of third street will get you to the tracks. Other than that, just everything around it could be maintained a bit nicer. The underneath of the bridge that supports the tracks is littered with debris and trash on a regular basis. It's not really CATS fault that people litter but the "broken windows" doctrine plays out here: one piece of trash left in view invites more litter around it. So again, it's not the prettiest station when you bring it under the microscope. Use the stairs, bring an umbrella, and be on your way, quickly.
