College Prowler Take
Chapel Hill Transit is a free and easy way to get around town, and many students take advantage of it. The Campus U and Reverse U Bus are convenient for students to get around campus and Franklin Street. All city buses come through campus to take students to Rosemary Street, Franklin Street, Carrboro, and even stop at apartment complexes that are close to campus. All public transportation is free. If students need to go outside of the city bus route, there are several taxi companies available. The Robertson Scholars Program has a bus that travels between Duke and UNC for free and is available to all students. The Triangle Transit Authority takes students from campus to shopping centers, the airport, and other places in the area for a cheap price.
Students at UNC definitely appreciate the fact that public transportation in the area is free. However, most take for granted how safe and reliable public transportation really is in the Chapel Hill/Durham area. Although having a car is convenient, it is definitely not an absolute must at UNC. Just hop on the party bus and join the fun! Students Speak Out

Public transportation is very convenient around UNC. There are lots of buses that take you from your dorm to almost anywhere in Chapel Hill. One thing is for sure— you don’t have to have a car. |
