Which bus line are you on? I've lived along the Monroe and N Tryon Lines. N Tryon wasn't very nice. The Monroe one wasn't so great. Also, it depends on what time you go as well. I never go on any of the express lines either. [Which that is what I suspect you were using]. The CTA has its share of odd people but it wasn't nearly as bad as the ones in CLT.
I've only been here a short time. I've been on the #27 Monroe bus that goes through Elizabeth and a few other areas. I've also been on the #19S that goes down Park Rd through Dilworth and other areas.
I've lived in Philadelphia and NYC. I'm not afraid of "urban" areas. Granted, these are not areas with lawns and driveways, but I've yet to see anything that would disturb me in CLT.
I keep reading threads about CLT trying to build more public transportation. So the city is making an effort.
I don't plan on getting a car for quite some time. I'll be living and working all on public transportation. With planning, it can be done.
I'm also looking for a house to rent and I'm finding nice places that are accessible via public transportation.

I am a 51 year old divorced woman, living on a disability income, *read pathetic*, about to move from Chicago to... somewhere.
My English Bulldog and I will be traveling with our belongings in a U-Haul and no car. We will need to find a place to settle that has amazing public transportation, is within walking distance of important places, such as a grocery, a bank, maybe a vet, and of course, the ubiquitous coffee shop.
I ask you for your kind consideration, if you have the time, to suggest a safe, maybe quaint, public transportation friendly, PEOPLE friendly, *as an Irish American living in Chicago, I can attest to the lack of kindness of some*, and walkable part of Charlotte, for a single, white, going deaf, woman without a car, to live.... I would be so grateful!
Why not Seattle? Downtown is very walkable, lots of public transportation, and very dog-friendly.

Have you been in the area, on the 27 bus, between Sardis and Elizabeth after 9PM?
