;9 March 2004 (continued to 2016)
On the afternoon of 9 March, Lorraine Macdonald was cycling towards the Fashion Show Mall alongside a CAT Bus. The bus driver failed to look in her rear view mirror and side-swiped Lorraine Macdonald twice, which did not kill her but left her disable. March 2007, Miss Macdonald took the bus company to court and won the case, however the bus company appealed and the verdict was reversed in the [[Nevada Supreme Court]] and another trial ordered. In March 2010, Miss Macdonald went back to court and won the case again which the bus company has again appealed & won.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}

On the night of 19 July, Alexander Dennis coach 224 on the "Deuce" service was deadheading north on Interstate 15.  A tire failed and the bus went through an opening in the median barrier rail that had been removed for construction access.  The coach continued through the median and over a barrier on the southbound side of the Interstate.  The coach was spinning clockwise when it was hit by a tractor trailer, which caused the bus to spin the other way and collide again with the trailer before coming to a rest.  Due to the size of the cleanup, and the need to investigate the accident, the road was not reopened until approximately 10:00 am the following morning. The driver of tractor trailer was killed in the accident.  The passenger in the tractor trailer was unrestrained at the time of the accident, and was severely injured.  The driver of the coach was severely injured, and partially disabled.

Following the accident, the coach was retained at the RTC Tompkins yard, covered by a giant [[Tarpaulin|tarp]] to preserve it for inspection during the ongoing investigation and litigation.  Upon closure of the RTC Tompkins facility, the bus was taken from the facility and moved to an off-site storage location. In 2011, with the investigation over, the bus was moved to the RTC Simmons facility where the bus was finally dismantled for any usable parts & eventually scrapped.

Initial investigation revealed concerns about problems with the tire were reported a few times by drivers prior to the accident.  Maintenance records show that each time a problem was reported it was inspected and evaluated by the mechanics.  Additionally, the companies involved in the removal of the barrier were also investigated for contributing to the accident.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}

On the night of 3 January, a CAT bus collided through two brick walls before finally hitting a house. Around 9:30 pm, CAT bus 915 on route 207 was heading south on Christy Lane and turning left onto Mabel Road, when the bus hit a [[Ford Mustang]] car. This sent the bus out of control and into the brick walls and the house. There were three minor injuries on the bus, and unconfirmed injuries in the Mustang. The bus was not taken off the property until the next morning, because officials were concerned that the bus might have made the house structurally unsafe. Support columns were placed in the house and the bus was removed.{{citation needed|date=July 2021}}

The day following a deadly crash at a CAT bus stop, another incident occurred with a naked man stealing a bus.

He punched the door glass, boarded, and took control while the bus driver jumped off for safety. A few hundred metres away, he jumped off while the bus continued in motion.

On the morning of 13 September, a man in a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo, crashed into the bus stop at Spring Mountain and Dectaur, killing four, and injuring 8. The impact tore some of the victims to pieces, and hurled some dozens of yards from the point of impact. According to Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer Laura Meltzer, it was difficult to determine their identities, but Metro believe all were waiting for the bus. They were identified Thursday night only as three women, ages 65, 49 and 47, plus a 24-year-old man, all of Metropolitan Las Vegas.
