I am very excited to report that I finally got a chance to try out Raleigh's new R-LINE bus system. Besides being a quick and easy way to get around downtown (while also supporting mass-transit), the buses are hybrid electric--thus, environmentally friendly!

r-lineA few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I tried them out--bar hopping around downtown Raleigh. The buses came frequently, and we didn't have to wait long at all at the stops. They are clean and well-lit AND they make you feel like you live in a "real" city (ha!)

I encourage any Raleigh-ites or Raleigh visitors to check out the R-LINE as soon as you can. The buses run during the day as well, so they're perfect for visiting museums, restaurants, other places of business, and, of course, the legislative complex.

I'd love to hear about other people's experiences on the R-LINE, so let us know!
