So you would love to live in Pittsboro, NC and take advantage of fantastic buys on homes there and a lower tax rate? But you work in Chapel Hill, NC or at UNC and it would just be so much more convenient to live nearby if gas prices keep going up ( and I think we know they will.) Then there is the age old problem of parking your car in Chapel Hill. When will THAT ever get easier?! You are in luck!
Chapel Hill Transit has just announced that they will begin weekday bus service from downtown Pittsboro to Chapel Hill! Starting August 24, 2009 the new PX route will begin at the Historic Chatham County Courthouse at the circle in Pittsboro and continue up to the Lowe's Home Improvement store at 121 Lowes Drive. From there up to Fearrington Village and on to Chapel Hill where it will stop at the UNC Parking Deck on Manning Drive, the Student Union and then the State Employees Credit Union on Pittsboro St. From there it's an easy connection to all points Chapel Hill on the regular bus routes. The longest route is projected to take less than 45 minutes and if you buy a pass, you will be GUARANTEED a free ride to your home or vehicle in the event of an emergency during the hours of 8:30 am to 4:00 pm on operational days.
Passes are $65 and can be purchased at Chapel Hill Town Hall, Pittsboro Town Hall and the Piggly-Wiggly in Pittsboro starting the 31st of August...that's because the route is FREE until then!
So now that you know you can make the trip up and down 15-501 everyday with a cup of coffee and your iPhone or Kindle, maybe you want to talk about buying a home in Pittsboro? Just a thought...
