The N&O's erstwhile transportation reporter Bruce Siceloff reports on the N&O's blog that the move of Triangle Transit's RTP-area transfer station from Davis Dr./NC 54 to Imperial Center, home to Quintiles' new HQ, lots of retail and office space, and -- as longtime BCR readers know -- the annual Taste of Durham festival.
As the Old Reliable notes, the new easterly location should cut transit time for commuters coming in from Wake County by an average of eight minutes, while Durhamites should see no change in their ride times. One-fifth of Triange Transit's 4,600 daily riders have to make a transfer.
Look for the changes to start December 1, and expect this to remain Triangle Transit's transfer home -- except in the event that governmental leaders can find a way to agree on a rail/bus system expansion, in which case a rail station co-location is the likely eventual outcome.
