The shuttles will stop at each of these locations approximately every 15 minutes from 6:30pm until 2:30am every Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Other stops may be added.   The shuttle fleet is comprised of beautiful Mercedes-Benz 18 passenger Sprinter buses supplied Felix Sabates Mercedes-Benz of South Charlotte.   “Visitors to anywhere Uptown can now park for free in the huge newly paved NC Music Factory parking lot and ride the Entertainment Express to other entertainment venues throughout the Uptown area,” says Noah Lazes, co-owner of the NC Music Factory. “Alternatively, if parked outside of the NC Music Factory, riders can come from other Uptown venues for free to visit the NC Music Factory without ever moving their vehicles.”   For additional Entertainment Express information visit www.ncmusicfactory.com.
