Triangle Transit is seeking feedback on proposed changes to its Hillsborough to Chapel Hill bus route.
Route 420 is experiencing overcrowding during peak commute times and Triangle Transit is working with Chapel Hill Transit to add vehicles with more seating capacity to address the issue. Orange Public Transportation would still operate mid-day service.
Triangle Transit is also proposing changes to the route to provide service to Durham Technical Community College’s new satellite campus in Orange County and to the new 125-space park-and-ride lot adjacent to the campus.
The Triangle SportsPlex park-and-ride lot and three stops on Hwy. 86 — the Home Depot at Hampton Pointe shopping center, Stanback Middle School and Millhouse Road — would no longer be served during peak commute times. The Durham Tech park-and-ride lot would be served all day.
Triangle Transit is exploring the feasibility of the changes and will accept feedback on the proposed changes until Friday. For a feedback form or more information, visit www.triangletransit.org/bus/planning/420. Feedback can also be submitted by calling 485-PLAN and leaving a message for the Triangle Transit service planner.
