What is Go OnDemand?
Beginning January 2nd, 2018, GoTriangle will replace RTP shuttles (Shuttles 42, 46, 47 and 49) with on-demand transit services. These services will allow riders to request a ride through the TransLoc app by selecting pickup and dropoff locations.
Riders may now hail GoTriangle shuttle service within RTP and surrounding areas from their phone or online using the TransLoc app, Monday through Friday. You may request rides anytime between 6am and 6pm, with final drop off at 6:30pm. Download TransLoc in the Apple Store or on Google Play. If you don't have an internet connection, just call GoTriangle at (919) 314-8777 to request services.
After a fare-free period, through June 30, 2018, introducing the on-demand services, fares would be $2.25 a trip with free transfers to other non-express routes, identical to our existing shuttle fares.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are you changing from fixed route to OnDemand?
On-demand transit services offer greater flexibility. Instead of being held to a fixed route at fixed times, riders will be able to request rides as needed. This creates streamlined routing and scheduling, allowing GoTriangle to manage a larger service area during longer hours during the workday.
