Go-go-go R-Line! I'm not a huge fan of buses, spent 5 years riding the Muni in San Francisco,…read morepacked like sardines but the R-Line is fantastico! Clean, free and punctual always works in my book. The service has only been running about a year or so but I'm starting to use it more frequently now that I'm in good enough shape (hah!) to waddle over to the nearest stop on Glenwood! With the new real-time tracking app, it's also become really easy to time your trips and catch a bus easily. The buses are clean and comfortable and the drivers are pretty cool too. So while Raleigh-ites may still be used to using their cars, give the R-Line a shot the next time you're out drinking downtown. Save yourself some gas and money on the R-Line. It's the right thing to do in so many ways...

For all the time I have spent at restaurants, bars, and venues in the downtown Raleigh area, I…read morenever took the opportunity to ride the R Line until this weekend. I parked up near where I would end up the night (around The Borough) and then took the R Line down to the Moore Square area to enjoy the World Beer Festival at the evening session. It worked out pretty good, took the R Line back and continued my night. The handiest part is the phone app tracking the buses (there are two circulating counterclockwise in the route loop in the downtown area). You know when to expect the next bus and time your arrival at the stop with it, with a little "you are here" icon for reference. Great feature, no guessing on when the next bus can come for you. For more info on downloading the app and other info on the R Line, try here: http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/get-around/r-line to read up. The most attractive part is that it is FREE. Free ride, free wifi, free free free...free is good. Free is tremendously awesome (or awesomely tremendous, whichever). Coupled with very clean and well maintained buses that are also hybrid electric buses that help everyone be environment-friendly, it's a good deal all around. You will usually see a bus every 10-15 minutes, being that there are usually two buses going on the 20-30 minute total loop. They do run late night till 215a on Thurs-Sat, for all the bar hoppers out there, but be careful around end of running time I hear...get out there well before the hours end to make sure you hit that last loop. I do wish they had better Sunday hours though, 1p-8p is pretty limited but it's great they even do have those hours period for Sunday. Later Sunday hours would allow for more dining hours type of utilization, I'd think. Bottom line: R Line is a great and free mode of getting around DTR. Great way to see downtown as well if you get the chance. Two thumbs up!

I wish they put some signs indicating where all people can park. At first when we arrived, there were lots of cars waiting in the parking lot. I guess if you arrive early for the train may be parking is a little easier. Lastly, I wish they had signs where the business car will land, so people can line up at appropriate location. It would be nice if they put signage which side is Charlotte and which side would be Washington DC.

We arrived at 10:30AM and waited for 5 ferries until we got on. They don't hold a ton of cars and they carry commercial vehicles which ofter take up the space of 2-3 cars. They hold about 30 cars and it takes 55 minutes to cross. It use to be faster but they have to take a longer route now. This ferry is funded by the state of North Caroline and is part of the transportation budget. They use to allow the ferry to go over budget but now they cut back service after the season to make sure they stay under budget. Unless you really, really, really want to see Oacracoke, it's not really worth losing 7 hours of your day. There are a few nice places to eat, but not a ton of shopping.

You could…read moredrive the long way around, but for $7 and a short wait at the terminal, the ferry offers a far more enjoyable experience. We paid our fare and lined up with the other vehicles. Once the incoming ferry unloaded, boarding began in a calm, well-orchestrated fashion. I was guided precisely where to stop and park. Since we were in the Sprinter van and had already used the restrooms back on land, there was no need to head into the passenger space. The ride itself was peaceful and smooth today, with beautiful views of the Cape Fear River unfolding around us. About half an hour later, we docked and rolled off. A very cool way to cross. One detail worth watching for: just opposite the Southport terminal, there's an old brick lighthouse tucked into the trees. That's Price's Creek Light, built in 1849. It's the last surviving river light from a series that once guided ships to Wilmington. The structure sits on private land and isn't accessible but if you're on the ferry, you'll have the best view. Keep an eye out. [Review 1360 of 2025 - 4479 in North Carolina - 24912 overall]
