'''Fayetteville Area System of Transit (FAST)''' is the [[Public transport|public transit]] system for [[Fayetteville, North Carolina]].<ref>"[https://books.google.com/books?id=a8Q1AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA67&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q&f=false Fayetteville CBD Loop Completion, Hay St to US-301: Environmental Impact Statement]" United States. Federal Highway Administration, 1983. 67.</ref>

FAST was created in 1976, when the City of Fayetteville took over  private transportation system operated by the Cape Fear Transit Bus Company. That system provided services to the current service area and Little Rockfish in [[Hope Mills, North Carolina|Hope Mills]].
