CHARLOTTE — The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) resumed services Monday at 10 a.m. after operations were suspended due to Sunday’s ice storm.

All services will end at midnight because it is expected that there will be a refreeze, CATS officials said.

The last Blue Line train will leave UNC Charlotte and I-485 stations at midnight.

The final bus routes will depart the Charlotte Transportation Center at midnight.

CATS will resume limited service starting at 8 a.m. Tuesday and end at midnight like the day before.

Some commuters said they understood the call to close the transit system on Sunday.

However, they are glad everything is back to semi-normal so they can get to work.

“Oh man, I couldn’t wait for the trains to get back man,” said Draither Cornwell, commuter. “I needed to make some money and everything. Then my boss man called me last night, and I was like, ‘Oh yeah, and now I have to get back to work.’”

CATS services planned for Tuesday:

Gold Line and Express Bus service will be suspended, with anticipated reopening on Wednesday.
Blue Line will operate on its regular frequency.
Buses will operate, but customers may experience some detours based on road conditions.
CATS Micro and Special Transportation Service will be operational, but customers should expect possible delays due to conditions along neighborhood streets.

CATS will continue to monitor weather conditions.
