Traveling Around Downtown Raleigh is Easier Than Ever!!!

Raleigh has introduced a new FREE Circulator Bus Loop! The R-Line.

This is so exciting since it will make it easier than ever for conference attendees to get around downtown, especially for evening dining, visiting the archives and museums and participating in the planned Thursday evening events!

The circulator will run during the following hours:

Mon-Wed Hours: 7:00 AM - 11:00 PM

Thu-Sat Hours: 7:00 AM - 2:15 AM

Sun Hours: 1:00 PM - 8:00 PM

The route will be served by two buses and the service will run every 10-12 minutes.

Check out this map to get a sense of the lay of the land from an aerial perspective ...

• the dirt pits at the bottom is where the convention center and hotel are
• go north and you will see the Capitol building surrounded by it's gardens
• just north of the Capitol building are the Science and History museum buildings
• kitty-corner from the History museum building is where the NC Archives and State Library of NC are located
• the western edge of the loop is Glenwood south -- many restaurants are located along this stretch (as well as long Fayetteville Street, right outside the conference hotel)
• off the eastern evening route addition you are near Moore Square/City Market -- more options for dining

And, this map shows the circulator route, key buildings and where all the downtown parking lots and decks are!

And, now you can view a Google Map of Circulator Route!
