The Escape Route: CATS Rack 'N' Ride

Routes

Need to hurry home? Only have time to ride one way? Weather turned bad unexpectedly? Bike broke down?

Remember that Rack 'N' Ride is available on every CATS bus! Complete, up-to-date route and schedule information is available here.

Eastover/Crescent Heights to Uptown

Routes

This is an easy route from Laurel & Providence into town, mostly through old neighborhoods. I'd steer clear at rush-hour though, as there's a tricky section on Kenilworth that's not fun in heavy traffic. I ride it about 6:45 am.

SouthPark to Uptown

Routes

This route starts at the intersection of Barclay Downs and Morrison, the NW corner of SouthPark Mall, and runs through Freedom Park and Dilworth on its way to Uptown.
