Whenever I have friends visit from out of town, I drag them up the street to the bus stop and wait for the R-Line to appear. They are quite impressed that the bus is free and that it hits all the downtown hot spots. I give two thumbs up to the Downtown Raleigh Alliance for getting the buses up and running and for their work promoting them. Well done!

Good to see there is a good amount of weekday use for commuters. Surprised to see Sunday rates so low. Granted downtown activity is somewhat sleepy on Sundays...most restaurants don't do dinner, etc. But some do Sunday Brunch...hopefully in time their customers will use the R-Line more. I wonder if the city has considered giving out R-Line brochures/maps out to all the many churches downtown? That would probably boost some Sunday usage. And that, in turn, would help with Sunday morning parking issues. Very interesting. Good to see there is a good amount of weekday use for commuters.
