The R-Line is a zero-fare circulator bus service that traversed a three-mile loop in the shape of an inverted U through downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. The three green-painted, hybrid-electric buses stopped every 15 minutes at stops marked with an R-Line sign. Service ran from 7 AM to 11 PM Monday through Wednesday, 7 AM to 2:15 AM Thursday through Saturday, and 1 PM to 8 PM Sunday.
The R-line was suspended in January 2021,[1][2] but in April 2024 GoRaleigh announced that the service would resume in May 2024.[3]
