Bus Stops
All bus stops in the Raleigh Transit system are indicated on the maps by bullets. Flagging, or hailing the bus is acceptable in extreme cases but we ask you wait at a designated bus stop so that the bus will not fall behind schedule and will be able to move safely out of traffic and into a safe place for boarding. Buses will in no case stop in a 40 m.p.h. or above zone.
