The 2023 Durham Transit Plan asked Durham residents what service improvements they thought were the most important. Based on your feedback, GoDurham is implementing:
- More frequent service:
- Increasing frequency on high demand routes and to major destinations like Glenn View Station Walmart and the Village.
- More routes going more places:
- New route connecting from The Village to NCCU and Durham Tech—without having to transfer downtown.
- Faster, more reliable service:
- Adjusting routes to be more direct and removing stops that are too close together with low ridership, so the bus won’t have to stop as frequently.
This spring, GoDurham will implement service improvements identified in the Durham County Transit Plan for Routes 3, 3B, 5, 8, 12, and a new Route 13.
- Buses on Route 3 will run every 15 minutes to the Glenn View Station Walmart and will have better than 15-minute service between Durham Station and The Village.
- Route 3B will be renamed to Route 16 and will run every 30-minutes instead of every 60-minutes as it does today.
- Route 5 will be rerouted to serve Jordan High School, Hope Valley Commons, and NC54.
- Route 8 will be rerouted to serve Riddle Rd and Cornwallis Rd.
- Route 12 will be rerouted to serve NC 55 between Riddle Rd and Cornwallis Rd. Route 12 and 12B will no longer serve NC 54. For service along NC 54 to South Point Mall or the RTC, GoTriangle Route 800 will serve NC 54.
- A NEW Route 13 will replace the current Route 3C and connect The Village to NCCU and Durham Tech.
These changes will increase access across Durham.
