Transit service began in Wake Forest July 7. Residents can now ride a weekday rush-hour express from Wake Forest to downtown Raleigh and use a local circulator service that serves the town and provides access to grocery stores, shopping and other services. The two new routes are a partnership of the Town of Wake Forest, Triangle Transit, and the City of Raleigh. The express route is operated by CAT - Capital Area Transit, while the local circulator is operated by Triangle Transit.
WAKE FOREST-RALEIGH EXPRESS
The Wake Forest-Raleigh Express serves a new Park and Ride Lot (located at the intersection of White Street and Elm Avenue) in Wake Forest, the Triangle Town Center Park-and-Ride at Orvis, State Government, and the Moore Square Transit Station during rush hour. During the midday, service is only provided between downtown Wake Forest and Triangle Town Center with timed transfers to CAT Route 1 throughout the day.
To help kick-off the service, the Wake Forest-Raleigh Express is fare free from July 7 through July 18. After July 18, the express fare will be $2.50 each way in rush hours and $2.00 each way in midday. Discounted 30-day passes are available online at www.GoTriangle.org and at the Wake Forest Town Hall.

BENEFITS
As an alternative to driving to and from work, riding the bus offers many advantages. And today’s soaring gas prices make the bus a better way to get there. Just a few of the benefits:
- flexible schedules
- low cost
- reduced wear and tear, and maintenance, on your personal vehicle
- the opportunity to get work done during your commute, or read the paper - or just relax!
- reduced emissions, cleaner air
