🎫
Cheapest way around

CATS bus fare is $2.20 per ride (exact cash needed) or $6.60 for a day pass; from Charlotte Douglas Airport, take CATS Route 5 (about $2.20) to the Transit Center, then connect to a bus heading north toward 28269.

💡
Money-saving tips

1. Buy groceries and cook rather than eating out every meal — restaurants are spread out and add up. 2. Use the LYNX Blue Line light rail plus bus combo if visiting uptown Charlotte, as driving and parking is costly. 3. Fill up at gas stations in the suburbs (like those on Sugar Creek Road) rather than near the airport or interstate exits, where prices are higher.

Getting Around

🚊
CityLynx Gold Line $0.00

Charlotte Transportation Center (CTC) → AC Hotel by Marriott Charlotte City Center (via JW Clay Station)

6 min · Every 15–20 minutes · 6am–10pm Monday–Saturday; 8am–8pm Sunday

💡 The Gold Line is a free streetcar linking the CTC to uptown. Get off at the JW Clay stop—the hotel is 2 blocks east. Great for short hops, but don't count on it for airport connections; you still need the bus first.

🚌
CATS Route 5 Airport to Transit Center $2.20

Charlotte Douglas Airport (Bus Stop at Terminal 3) → Charlotte Transportation Center (CTC)

45 min · Every 30 minutes · 6am–10pm Monday–Friday; reduced Saturday/Sunday

💡 The bus drops you at CTC, a 5-minute walk from the hotel. Exact change or the CATS-Pass app required—no card payments on board. Cheapest option, but luggage space limited.

🚂
Lynx Blue Line $2.20

Charlotte Transportation Center (CTC) → AC Hotel by Marriott Charlotte City Center (via 7th Street Station)

5 min · Every 10 minutes peak, 20 off-peak · 5am–1am Monday–Saturday; 6am–midnight Sunday

💡 Don't take the train from the airport directly—it doesn't. Use Route 5 bus to CTC, then hop on the Blue Line one stop to 7th Street. The hotel is a 3-minute walk south on North Tryon.

🚕
Charlotte Douglas Airport Taxi $30

Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) → AC Hotel by Marriott Charlotte City Center

20 min · On demand · 24/7

💡 Use the official taxi queue outside baggage claim on the lower level. Avoid touts inside—Uber and Lyft often charge less (£20–£25) but wait times can be longer during peak arrivals.
