Living near public transportation has become more and more important for folks when considering a new career or higher education and when looking for a new home near either. That's easy to understand in California, New York, Chicago or any number of cities with reknowned public transportation systems.
Did you know that relocating to Chapel Hill or Carrboro, NC doesn't rule out the possibility of replacing some of your drive time and expense with inexpensive public transportation? How inexpensive...well, how does FREE sound?
Since 2002, Chapel Hill Transit has served the Chapel Hill, Carrboro and UNC areas with clean, attractive state of the art public buses, a comprehensive bus route and special event service...all for FREE. In fact, Chapel Hill, NC was the recipient of the first place "2009 Mayors City Livabillity Award', chosen from 200 cities. One of the biggest factors was the city's commitment to public transportation and the impact it has on quality of life in Chapel Hill. This video from the Town of Chapel Hill discusses the decision behind making the bus system free and how it contributes to a sustainable city and benefits students at UNC, residents of Chapel Hill and the folks who visit, live and work here.
