## Transportation

   The State of North Carolina features an 9-line public transit metro map, commonly referred to as NC Metro or NCM. Public use of the metro system is estimated at 120 million annually, massively decreasing the use of the highway and interstate system. Due to this, NCM currently uses highway and interstate infrastructure for the metro lines.

The American Rail System connects to Line 1 at Charlotte station, and separates at Raleigh station, where it then connects to Line 3 before exiting North Carolina at Roxboro stop.
