Notes taken off the neighborhood Listsrv.

They are planning a downtown circular bus route downtown and it includes a stop at Seaboard. They have 3 hybrid buses coming and it will be free to ride... ( It helps when that the Fed is picking up 80% of the cost. ) The buses will pick up people every 10 minutes. The buses will also be running until 2:15 am on Thur-Sat. Rumur has it that it will start around April. on a side note..
I just wanted to provide the most up to date info on the downtown
circulator, which will be known as the "R" line (I know this infor
because I am on the Raleigh Transit Authority).
The bus will run in a loop from the Convention Center up Wilmington,
go around Moore Square, back toi Wilmingston to Peace, down West to
Tucker and onto Glenwood Ave, over to Dawson on Morgan, and back to
the convention center. At night, because of reduced traffic, there
is a spur into the Warehouse District. This route, at night, comes
very close to most of the major parking decks and all the major
entertainment districts!!
Guy is right about the end time on the weekends - 2:15. While this
isn't as late as some of you may stay at the bars, you can pretty
much stay until closing and get a ride back to your car, closer to
home, or where ever. We are fortunate that the bus will stop in front
of Seaboard on Peace St so it comes pretty close to us; and it wil
run on a 10-12 minute headway (i.e. you can pick it up every 10-12
minutes). And, best of all, it is FREE!! Whoo hoo.
Also, the buses are hyrbid electric and will run more quietly and
cleanly than the normal CAT buses.
I hope you all will take advantage of this great new amenity for our
city. The more we use it, the more likely they are to a) keep it
running and b) add a bus serving a loop in the opposite direction or
other parts of downtown!!
