New Way To Get Around This Weekend

It’s the weekend and about now we are all unwinding from the work week trying to figure out what we’re going to do, who we’re going to see and how we’re going to get there.

Well, if you plan to stick around Raleigh this weekend, I have the answer to one of those questions.

Last Friday, Raleigh’s Mayor Meeker formally introduced a new, eco-friendly approach to urban transportation to Downtown Raleigh residents and visitors.

The DOWNTOWN CIRCULATOR (or the R-Line) is a FREE service that features hybrid electric buses that will connect you to restaurants, retail, entertainment venues, museums, hotels, and parking facilities in downtown Raleigh.

I’ve been in Raleigh since 1998. I’ve seen it grow and flourish, but i’ve always been disappointed by the choices available for public transportation in and around the Triangle. This is just what we need to tie it all together. I predict this being a huge step in the right direction for the downtown Raleigh area.

Buses run every 10-15 minutes, so it seems to be a great new way to get around town for resident, employees or visitors. After 6:30 p.m., the R-Line route will also include the City Market area and the warehouse district.

It’s going to be a cold weekend, but there are no excuse not to get out and contribute to our local economy in Downtown Raleigh this weekend…because you can park, ride and it won’t cost you a dime!
