Solar-Powered Flag Stops to Improve Regional Access
Plans are afoot to afford CARTS customers improved regional access with predictable city-to-city travel that incorporates CARTS-designed ITS flag-stop facilities in between towns, and in small towns at which an intermodal facility is not yet built or not warranted.
Bus Arrival Signs
Our San Marcos CAT will introduce electronic signboards display exactly when the next bus arrives at the station hub and two of the major stops. No more guessing.
