MicroLink on-demand transit coming to Fuquay-Varina in 2026; replaces current FRX service
Summary
Town manager announced that GoRaleigh's MicroLink microtransit service will launch in Fuquay-Varina in early 2026, replacing the current FRX fixed-route service and providing curb-to-curb on-demand rides within a service zone and connections to regional destinations.
Town management told the board on Tuesday that GoRaleigh’s MicroLink microtransit service will begin operating in Fuquay-Varina in early 2026, replacing the town’s current FRX fixed-route service. The manager said MicroLink is an on-demand, curb-to-curb service operating within a service zone; riders may be asked to walk to a nearby street curb for pickup to reduce wait times.
The manager said MicroLink will provide connections to local high schools (Fuquay-Varina and Willis Spring High Schools), to parts of the town of Holly Springs, and to regional destinations including Rex Hospital and Wake Technical Community College, enabling riders to transfer to Downtown Raleigh and beyond. The town will host a MicroLink vehicle and an information booth at the Celebrate Fuquay-Varina event so residents can learn about the service before it launches.
Staff described MicroLink as a replacement for FRX with a different operational model that emphasizes on-demand service within a defined zone; no service contract or cost details were provided in the board presentation.
