Is Raleigh, NC manageable without a car?
 

I got a good job offer in Raleigh but the problem is I don't have a driver's license as I always lived in NYC. How hard is it to get around without a car until I get my license?

Raleigh is really spread out and it would be kind of impossible to get around without one.

I couldn't imagine trying to get around Raleigh without a car, unless you're really close to work and the places you need to shop. The bus system is pretty lame, and the city is sprawling (especially outside the Beltline). If you're a cyclist, you might be able to manage for awhile.

A big pain if you don't have a car. Don's post is very helpful.<BR><BR>There are many, many people with driver's license who don't know how to drive! And of course, there are people with revoked licenses who drive anyway.

Raleigh: don't even think about it without a car!<BR><BR>If you are used to NYC, I would *highly* suggest you visit Raleigh before moving there! I live in Portland, Oregon, and even I found Raleigh incredibily smallish and unexciting compared to Portland. Then again, some people like suburban living and don't really need to live in a "city".<BR><BR>Andrew<BR>
