White the Gold Line originally used heritage-style streetcars when phase one opened in 2015, the…read morelaunch of phase two in 2021 brought with it a transition to modern, low-floor streetcar vehicles that offer better accessibility, air conditioning, and smoother boarding. These new cars look much like the same cars as are used on the Blue Line that runs from 485 to UNCC. The streetcars are clean and modern, with wide windows that make the ride feel open and connected to the city around you. It's convenient, especially if you're heading to Uptown or the hospitals along Elizabeth Avenue. The wait times between cars are usually reasonable but there's a small catch: there aren't any digital signs or audible announcements at the stops to tell you when the next streetcar is coming. I've found that Google Maps is helpful since it tracks the vehicles in real time and helps you estimate when to be at the platform. Once on board, it's a smooth, quiet ride that feels more like gliding than commuting. [Review 1436 of 2025 - 4507 in North Carolina - 24987 overall]

I'm trying to paste the lynx to pictures of this tram but it's not working…read more This is the cutest tram ever! It may be slow but it gets you there in the end - much like myself. The drivers are friendly and the colors are probably the most adventurous and memorable of any of the trams I've seen in North America and there are quite a few. I didn't even know that Charlotte had one until I saw it chugging along one day while I was getting food. I made it a point to ride on the thing, and I have finally made that dream a reality. It's not San Francisco, but then Charlotte doesn't have all those hills (or pills) so just the existence of the tram is a huge reason for happiness.

We were on the sidewalk on the far edge of the parking lot minding our on business and a women employee comes out yelling at us to stay in the grass or on the sidewalk and out of her parking lot. Now the grass is littered with glass liquor bottles and various other thrash items so we really can't stand in the grass, but we were all on the sidewalk. My young son needed to use the restroom so my husband walked him over to the station and she told him there was no public restroom there. The employee was a rude nasty human.

This station is located between ImaginOn and The 7th Street Market. It is a very convenient station to get on and off of. You are right at the street level and there is no elevators or stairs. Not sure but I think there are only kiosks to buy tickets on one side of the station since the train didn't originally go past this point. There is also no bus connections from this location since it is so close to the CTC. 7th Street Lynx Station 260 East 7th St Charlotte, NC 28202

Very helpful. I detected some open wi-fi signals though I didn't try to connect to them. This could be helpful if you're here in the evening waiting for a train. You can SEE the darned thing just up the way, but it's NOT MOVING! That's a little frustrating. Overhead announcements tell you about the next train going north, but the next station is the last one, so don't even bother. Southbound doesn't get that same warning, only when the train is immediately inbound.

Lots of construction here of condos and apartments and townhouses, but very few commercial businesses. There isn't a coffee shop or a restaurant very near to the station. The platforms for this station are fully handicapped accessible. There are some benches with a small amount of cover available. The platforms are on opposite sides of the tracks, so the doors of the train will open on the right side. There is no parking here other than some street parking, which for the moment isn't metered or marked very well. Parkwood is between 9th Street (towards uptown) and 25th Street (towards University).

Extending the Blue Line all the way to UNCC might have seemed excessive, but the success of the first segment really warrants the growing city's demand for public transportation. This station has some new neighbors! Most notably Optimist Hall. The way the track curves (you do go past it) but its a smart 1-2 minute walk. With the ongoing construction, it's probably not the most glamorous walk to get there, but the new apartments and other improvements will surely make the area a bustling hub of activity. Just like the other Lynx stations, the themes were designed by local artists. Plenty of bike rack locations (to encourage multi-modal forms of getting around). With everyone moving to Charlotte, it's actually really refreshing to not have to get in a car to get somewhere.

The station is pretty well lit. It is a block from the wonderful Midnight Diner (reviewed separately) and the Morehead Street Tavern. Looking south, you can see the train coming from as far away as Bland Street Station but from the north, there is a curve where it crosses the highway. There are automated announcements that let you know a train is a few minutes away. There are ticket vending machines on each platform. Note that you must purchase your ticket before boarding the train. The LYNX line does have fare inspectors and they're serious about it.

The Carson Lynx Station is the "last" stop on the line before the lynx crosses over I-277 and into Uptown. It is also good to note that the trail still continues on under Moorehead, but then diverts you over to Moorehead/College St if you are trying to walk in. No pedestrian traffic allowed on the light rail bridge over 277. A lot of folks get on the train at the other end of the line in Pineville, so by the time the train reaches Carson, it's pretty packed (depending on the time of day... I'm talking rush hour when it is pretty packed). No men employed to squeeze people in the trains yet (like Japan), but if you value your personal space, I would either try to get an earlier train, or just avoid the rush hour altogether. Other than that... pretty standard light rail station. No park and ride here.... but lots of residential places nearby and you've got TWC News 14 building behind the station off of South Blvd and the Midnight Diner about a block away.
