Chattanooga Residents, Take Note: Weekend Transportation Modifications Ahead!

Hey there, Chattanooga! It looks like the weather is making some waves this weekend, and the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) is stepping up to keep everyone in the loop. If you rely on CARTA for your weekend adventures, you’ll want to pay attention to some modified service hours that will be in effect.

Modified Service Hours for the Weekend

This Saturday, all CARTA services will be available until 7:30 p.m.. So if you’re planning on catching a ride to grab dinner or check out the local scene, make sure you’re aware of this change. No late-night rides this time around!

On Sunday, service will pick up again a bit later, starting at 10 a.m.. This means perfect timing for your Sunday brunch plans or a leisurely stroll at the park!

Keep Yourself Updated!

Now, you might be wondering how to stay informed about these changes. CARTA has made it super easy. You can check updates through a variety of platforms. Whether it’s social media, text alerts, or just a quick call to their customer service, they encourage passengers to stay in the know.

Remember, keeping an eye on the latest service updates can save you from inconvenient surprises. If you have any specific routes or schedules in mind, it’s a great idea to confirm those before you head out.

Frigid Temperatures Ahead

But wait, there’s more! The weather isn’t just affecting transportation—it’s also causing some chilly conditions out there. Officials have warned that the frigid overnight temperatures will lead to refreezing on wet road surfaces. That means extra caution is needed if you’re driving or walking around. Slipping and sliding is not a fun way to spend your weekend!

Local Attractions Adjusting Hours

If you had plans to visit the Tennessee Aquarium or catch a flick at the IMAX 3D Theater, don’t forget that they too are adjusting their schedules. Both attractions will delay their openings until Noon on Sunday. So, if you plan to enjoy some aquatic life or watch an exciting movie, make sure you factor this change into your plans.

In Conclusion

So there you have it, Chattanooga! Whether you’re planning to hop on a bus for a night out or eagerly awaiting some family fun at the aquarium, it’s all about being prepared this weekend. The temperatures might be dropping, but your spirits don’t have to! Remember to check the service updates from CARTA and keep an eye on the icy roads. Enjoy your weekend, stay warm, and make the most of the time spent with friends and family!
