The LYNX Blue Line light rail has been a game-changer to Charlotteans since its operations began in 2007. The 9.6-mile route had 15 total stations linking South End to Uptown. In 2018, the Charlotte Area Transit System added a 9.3-mile light rail extension, connecting Uptown to UNC Charlotte, bringing in an additional 11 stops.

So, what is there to do exactly at each of the 26 stations? There’s plenty. Whether you’re a light rail regular or newbie, your $4.40 round-trip ticket just got a whole lot more exciting. From sipping on a cold, local brew to treating yourself to new finds at a boutique, there’s a variety of activities to enjoy at each stop.
