GoRaleigh's Route 1topped 1 million riders in the fiscal year ending June 30, making it North Carolina's busiest bus route.
Why it matters: The milestone strengthen's GoRaleigh's case for expanding high-frequency bus service, which the agency says has rapidly grown ridership.
Zoom in: Route 1 stops every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 15 minutes on weekends.
Buses stop downtown and take Capital Boulevard to Triangle Town Center.
What they're saying: "We believe it to be true, 'if you build it, they will come,'" assistant city transit director Het Patel said in a news release. "We are so proud of the team that made this happen. Servicing a million riders on one route is no easy feat."
