Here's When GoRaleigh Buses Will Suspend Service

RALEIGH, NC — GoRaleigh will suspend service starting Thursday afternoon ahead of Hurricane Florence. GoRaleigh will make final departures from GoRaleigh Station at 5 p.m., 5:15 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Those trips will go out of service at the end of the line, the agency said on its website. If there is a loop at the end of the line, the bus will complete that loop before going out of service.

Any bus leaving GoRaleigh Station at 5 p.m., 5:15 p.m. or 5:30 p.m. that meets a connecting route (7L, 11L, 15L, 23L, 24L and 25L) will make that connection, the agency said. The connecting routes will then proceed to the end of their lines and go out of service.

GoRaleigh will evaluate the safety of each route and determine any possible detours at a later date.

Hurricane Florence could make landfall early Friday and then linger over the Carolinas for days. The city is moderately confident that Raleigh will be impacted with strong, sustained winds and gusts Friday into the weekend.

"Flash and eventually river flooding likely beginning Thursday evening and persisting through the weekend and into early next week," the city said.

There is even a possibility of weak tornadoes as the rain bands push ashore Thursday evening through Saturday afternoon.
