November 2025 Proposed Service Changes
GoTriangle’s proposed changes to the WRX and ZWX routes would increase frequency, enhance access to prime destinations, and optimize microstransit options with the goal of boosting overall ridership and route utility. Changes to the WRX would serve riders traveling from Wake Forest via a route ending at Triangle Town Center yet maintaining connectivity to Downtown Raleigh. Changes to the ZWX would expand the hours of operation for riders traveling between Zebulon, Wendell, and Raleigh and include an option to reach GoTriangle’s new Raleigh Union Station Bus Facility (RUS Bus).
Route WRX
Wake Forest-Raleigh Express (WRX)
GoTriangle will begin operating Route WRX and proposes shortening its distance to provide all-day hourly service on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m., connecting Downtown Wake Forest and Triangle Town Center.
- The route would no longer serve stops in Downtown Raleigh.
- Stops would be added on S. Main Street in Wake Forest, including the Walmart shopping center.
- The route would connect Wake Forest and Rolesville microtransit services with Triangle Town Center where riders can make timed transfers to access Downtown on GoRaleigh Route 1 and North Raleigh on GoRaleigh Route 25L.
Why is GoTriangle proposing this change?
More trips and improved connectivity: A shorter WRX that operates all day, rather than a peak-hour only service, is likely to attract more riders. It would become more attractive to riders by connecting them with microtransit services in Wake Forest, Wakefield, and Rolesville, as well as with GoRaleigh routes 1 and 25L.
Changing travel patterns: Changing travel patterns have resulted in low ridership on the existing morning and afternoon services. All-day service would increase the usefulness for trips to school, shopping, medical appointments, and jobs, with hours that fall outside of peak commute times.
Budgeting existing resources: Shortening the route allows for all-day service within the available budget.

Route ZWX
Zebulon-Wendell-Raleigh Express (ZWX)
With the proposed service changes, GoTriangle will assume operation of ZWX. As a result, the service will provide all-day service on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. and implement the following changes:
- It will serve the new Raleigh Union Station Bus Facility (RUS Bus).
- It will travel on Edenton Street and West Street in Downtown Raleigh to access RUS Bus.
- It will exit RUS Bus and Downtown Raleigh on West Street and Morgan Street.
- It will use Wendell Falls Parkway in both directions to provide service to Wendell Falls.
- It will extend past its current endpoint in Zebulon to reach Walmart east of Downtown Zebulon.
Why is GoTriangle proposing this change?
The Route ZWX service increase is included in the Wake Transit Plan and is funded through the half-cent sales tax dedicated to transit improvements in the region.
