The Charleston Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) has announced changes affecting North Charleston public transportation starting next week, September 21, 2025. These include system-wide schedule updates aimed at improving service efficiency across all fixed routes. Riders should expect adjustments in bus timetables and schedules which are intended to enhance overall transit operations.
Additionally, ongoing infrastructure projects like the Lowcountry Rapid Transit (LCRT), a major new 21.3-mile bus system running through North Charleston and surrounding areas, are progressing but construction is not yet affecting immediate service. However, travelers in the area may still experience some delays due to traffic pattern changes and detours related to nearby projects.
For the most accurate and updated information next week on routes, schedules, and any service alerts in North Charleston, riders should use the CARTA website or their Transit app to plan and track trips in real time.
