Shuttles
Triangle Transit’s regional bus service is complemented by shuttle service in the Research Triangle Park and the Raleigh-Durham (RDU) Airport area. See the Airport Service page for more information on service to the RDU Airport. Click here for information on fares.
Shuttle Fares
Most shuttle customers transfer to their Shuttle from another Triangle Transit Regional Bus. When paying your fare as you board the first bus, ask the driver for a transfer stub to give to the driver of the Shuttle or second bus you board. See the Fares and Passes page for more information.
Riding Research Triangle Park (RTP) Shuttles

Getting Dropped Off at “By Request” Employers
If you are trying to get TO a “By Request” employer location on any Shuttle, simply board that Shuttle at the Triangle Transit Center and tell the driver to which employer you need to go.
Getting Picked Up at “By Request” Employers
To get picked up at a “By Request” employer, you must call (919) 314-8888 at least 30 minutes in advance of your pick-up time. It is important that passengers be outside waiting at the designated stop at their scheduled time. Passengers who miss the shuttle and call in to reschedule will be rescheduled for the next available time. Shuttles will not turn around to retrieve late passengers.
