Public transportation in Raleigh and the Triangle area is constantly improving but it is not as extensive or as efficient as public transportation in larger American cities like New York City or Washington, DC. Most students rely on driving their own cars or rideshare services when traveling away from campus.
GoRaleigh buses are free with a GoPass, or $1.25 a ride, and will take you around Raleigh.
