To enhance statewide connectivity, the N.C. Department of Transportation’s intercity bus program has expanded with new service and routes across North Carolina and neighboring states.
The new routes and extensions add an additional 900 miles of daily service across North Carolina and will connect to existing routes to provide greater connectivity and travel options between different North Carolina regions.
NCDOT intercity bus program connects over 50 urban and rural communities throughout North Carolina, which is essential to statewide mobility.
New and expanded routes begin July 1 and include:
• Mid-State Express – Winston-Salem to Fayetteville via High Point and Sanford now extended to Raleigh; daily service between Fayetteville and Raleigh now doubled.
Other routes include:
• Pine Line – New daily service connecting Raleigh, Fayetteville and Lumberton, continuing south into South Carolina with the final stop in Atlanta, Ga.
• Rockfish Run – New daily service between Raleigh and Norfolk, Va., via Wilson, Greenville, Edenton and Elizabeth City, N.C.
• High Country Gateway – Boone to Winston-Salem route extended to Charlotte; this adds additional daily service between the Triad and High Country to Charlotte.
NCDOT provides funding for 13 routes that offer daily service for North Carolinians and provides connections to the larger national intercity bus network.
