Bicyclists behavior -- a question

[unc70]

4. Fairly often on this route -- 10 minutes

There are a number of buses along this route. During commute times, they seem almost continuous depending on the stop and the overlap of routes. At peak, the spacing on individual routes are typically every 10 to 20 minutes, double that off peak.

Overall, good service M-F, thin on Saturday, limited mostly to campus on Sunday. The Chapel Hill Transit buses are free for everyone because we voted to raise property taxes and student fees to make it so about 15 years ago. I believe it is still the largest fare-free system in the world.

We do have additional bus service that does charge fares. The shuttle buses to athletic events do cost a few dollars round trip. There are also buses from Triangle Transit which provide regional service to Raleigh, Durham, the Research Triangle, and neighboring towns. These TTA buses are free to UNC students, those over 65, etc. but charge most riders. A couple of TTA routes provide service along MLK and run on nights and weekends.

It really is an amazing system.
