Abstract:

Two Raleigh transit systems, Triangle Transit and Capital Area Transit (CAT), will increase fares between 2014 and 2015. The CAT buses in Raleigh fares would increase to $1.25 in 2014 and $1.50 by 2015. Likewise, the regional Triangle Transit routes increase from $2 to $2.25 and express routes from $2.50 to $3 in 2014. Higher fares are anticipated to affect low-income Raleigh residents, but transit authorities believe middle- and upper-class riders will make-up the difference.

Abstract:

The article describes the process of creating a mass transit system within the Triangle area connecting Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, the three major universities, and the airport. The system will run buses on routes through the Triangle area and debate has started over the need or lack thereof for a rail system to connect the Triangle. The article also explores the history of the transit movement, the people who opposed it, and how the system will be paid for through a vehicle registration tax.
