and transportation with CATS Charlotte Area Transit Systems CEO Brent Kegel.
A lot has changed over the years since the beginning
when it was just sort of buses. Now CATZ really
has a lot to offer in Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It was really nineteen ninety eight along abouts when the
sales tax, the first half cent sales tax dedicated to
transit was passed, and that was a watershed moment for
transit in the region. That brought us the Blue Line.
It helped us expand our bus our express services, also
brought us the Gold Line. Now we think about it
as a service, but it's almost like a necessity. Our
(00:41):
riders depend on CATS to get them to work, get
them to the doctor, to the grocery store. It's part
of their lives, helping them live their lives in the community,
and so it's essential. CATS already has in its fleet
thirty fully electric buses, zero emissions, and we continue to
upgrade technologies. We also have electric hybrid buses. Transit in

single people out of one carb and is combining those trips,

is just such a great place and that's why you're here, right.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
