Comments on CATS-Pass for Android

★★★★★ Garrick Combs · Apr 1, 2025

App is convenient and easy to use. It reduces if not eliminates concern of a lost pass.

★★★★★ Eric Simpson · Feb 13, 2025

This is a great app if you ride the trains or buses in Charlotte it gives you more up-to-date information than Google Maps will sometimes they may have a shutdown on certain routes, and you will be misguided if you use only Google Maps to get you around. You also can use this app to pay with the debit card for a bus/transit ride in case you don't have paper money.

★★★★☆ teresa connor · Sep 30, 2025

Pass works good for the most part. But my validation never codes load and the drivers are giving me a hard time about it almost to the point of being rude and not letting me ride even though my pass says active and show to the driver.

★★★★★ Marcus Mccorkle · Aug 11, 2026

it's a good app that let you know bus times when you are at. Now cats just gotta find some friendly driver

★☆☆☆☆ Leonard Ham · Jan 27, 2026

NEVER EVER shows Bus or Train GPS ICON on Map during Ice or Snow days when Riders desperately need to know where the Buses are currently located on their route. CATS Charlotte Administration is definitely NOT doing their Jobs keeping the Transit System here functioning properly and correctly. During any snow or Ice storm, EVEN the Technology which keeps the CATS PASS APP functioning correctly STOPS WORKING! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE AND INCOMPETENT WHAT CATS TRANSIT IS DOING !

★☆☆☆☆ kenneth durril · Oct 2, 2026

The ticket machine was broken, so I had to download the app. Then register, then verify, then buy a ticket. I'm a tourist and I really did not want a full process. Tap and go is not that hard.
