Transit News in Raleigh

Details on the proposed circulator bus.

The City of Raleigh is planning a new bus line that will provide service in a loop around the Downtown and Glenwood South areas in 2009.  A public forum will be held today at 3:30pm to discuss the new route. 

The. Most. Expensive.  Not exactly a superlative to brag about. The N&O brings us news that we have the most expensive gas in the lower 48 states.  New Jersey is apparently a full dollar less per gallon than NC’s average. $2.79 a gallon sounds super cheap.  Fuel prices are expected to fall now that the pipeline to the eastern part of the state has been repaired.
