That’s why all the other transit initiatives around Raleigh are super important, too.
Remember that GoRaleigh’s already in the process of running buses inside 440 that come every 15 minutes or less. This is one of the big goals in the Wake Transit Plan for 2027:
There’s also the Midtown-St. Albans study that’s been mentioned in a few other threads. This plan still needs to be ratified by the Planning Commission and City Council, though.
Finally, there’s the RTA’s “freeway-and-street-based transit” (FAST) study to run faster, more frequent, and more reliable buses. What this means and what this looks like is still a mystery, but they’re planning on putting out some recommendations on July 17th.
You’re right in that transit will continue to be a challenge outside of BRT corridors. …but the ways to mitigate those risks are right in front of us, too.
