TRIANGLE TRANSIT REQUESTS FEEDBACK ON POSSIBLE CHANGES TO ROUTE 420
Triangle Transit’s Route 420 (Hillsborough to Chapel Hill) is experiencing overcrowding during peak commute times. To address this issue, Triangle Transit is working with Chapel Hill Transit to add vehicles with more seating capacity to this route during peak commute times. Mid-day service would still be operated by Orange Public Transportation (OPT).
In addition to increasing capacity during peak commute times, Triangle Transit is also proposing a change in the route to provide service to the new Durham Tech Orange County campus in Hillsborough and the new 125-space Park and Ride lot provided by Orange County adjacent to the campus.
Please note that the Triangle Sportsplex P&R lot and three stops on NC 86 (Home Depot, Stanback M.S., and Millhouse Rd) would no longer be served during peak commute times. The Durham Tech Orange County Park and Ride lot would be served all day.
The routing changes in both the peak and mid-day will also likely have some small effects on the schedule. Triangle Transit expects that the new routing may make the peak trip faster.
Triangle Transit is still exploring the feasibility of these service changes. Any implementation date is still to be determined
