Editing Carroll County, Maryland (section)

===Bus===
Carroll County operates its own bus [[public transit]] system, known as the Carroll Transit System. After 40 years of service, the Carroll Area Transit System (CATS bus) ended its transportation services in the county at the end of July 2016. CATS was replaced by the Carroll Transit System, which is operated by Ride With Us. Carroll Transit Service offers five fixed-deviated routes that were previously operated by CATS, as well as demand-response, door-to-door service.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/maryland/carroll/news/ph-cc-cats-dissolved-20160822-story.html |title=CATS ends 40 years of transportation services in Carroll |work=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |date=August 22, 2016 |access-date=January 11, 2020}}</ref>
