GoTriangle Reminds Commuters There are Transit Options Available as Fuel Runs Low

As fuel supplies in the Triangle remain low, GoTriangle reminds commuters there are transit options available.

"If drivers want to put their cars in park during the shortage, there are many bus routes available throughout Wake, Durham and Orange counties along with other options like rideshare and biking," said GoTriangle General Manager Jeff Mann. "September also is Try Transit month, which is a great time to explore different ways to travel to work, school, and other appointments."

Among the routes available:

Carrboro to Durham Transit Service Begins Monday, August 8

Carrboro residents will have weekday transit service to Durham beginning on Monday, August 8th.
“We’re pleased to offer this service that meets a need we’ve heard from Carrboro residents,” said GoTriangle General Manager Jeff Mann. “By extending our former Chapel Hill to Durham route in the busy 15-501 corridor, we’ll give passengers an efficient one seat ride from Carrboro to downtown Chapel Hill, Duke, the VA and downtown Durham.”
