Kudos to NCDOT for providing this train.

Thumbs down to local transportation planners for not providing a real shuttle bus service to/from the Amtrak station.
If you're serious about encouraging the use of public transit, then requiring fans to walk 8 blocks from the bus drop-off
point to the stadium, and then walk 8 blocks back again, at night [and after a few beers, perhaps] really isn't the way to do it.
On top of that, riders are told to have "exact change" which in this case is either $2.20 one-way or $4.40 for a round-trip.
[i mean, I'm sure the driver would take a fiver for the round-trip fare, but still...]
It doesn't sound very easy or convenient to me. Obviously some people will figure it out, but why make it more difficult than it
needs to be? Just have a few buses marked "Panthers Shuttle", charge an even $5 for a round-trip [why even offer a one-way
fare?], then take the people to the bloody stadium, not some random downtown streetcorner. Sheesh.
