Some GoTriangle bus routes will change on August 3, 2025, to coincide with the opening of the new Raleigh Union Bus Station Facility on West Hargett Street – also known as “RUS Bus.” RUS Bus will result in expanded capacity to support continued investment in new and improved bus transit options for Raleigh and the region. Initially, four GoTriangle routes will be affected by its opening.
In addition, changes to specific service routes in Durham and Orange counties will result in GoTriangle’s first-ever 15-minute service routes.
“These changes are necessary for us to continue to offer high-quality transit in our region,” said Jay Heikes, Transit Service Planning Manager at GoTriangle. “We only make these adjustments following extensive analysis of our routes and coordination with our bus operators, external partners, as well as through critical public interactions including hundreds of comments online and significant in-person engagements.”
GoTriangle will open its New Raleigh Union Station Bus Facility (RUS Bus) located adjacent to the existing Raleigh Union Station. This new facility will support increased transit service downtown and allow convenient access to Raleigh Union Station rail service. Routes CRX, DRX, 300 and 305 will be realigned to begin and end inside the new station and will serve stops close to downtown and GoRaleigh Station. GoTriangle Route 100 and GoRaleigh Routes 8, 9 and R-line provide additional connections to and from GoRaleigh station from nearby stops on West and Harrington Streets.
Routes CRX and DRX will shift their downtown endpoints from GoRaleigh Station to the new RUS Bus facility. The routes will make a loop on Morgan St., Wilmington St. and Edenton St., in downtown and stop near GoRaleigh station and the state government campus. This means stops added and removed in Downtown Raleigh. Routes CRX and DRX will additionally no longer operate on Faircloth Street and instead serve Meredith College from stops on Hillsborough Street.
