GoDurham Announces May Service Changes

These changes are made possibly thanks to refurbished secondhanded buses that the agency is currently taking delivery of, which you can read more about here. The new buses, as well as each service change, are funded by the Durham Transit Plan, which was created to further invest in "faster, more dependable bus service" for the Bull City. These will go into effect on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
