Raleigh Union Station and RUSbus Facility / Union West

[keita]

@colbyjd3

The post doesn’t specify which routes will exclusively serve RUS. The 9 and the R-Line already serve Union Station on West Street, and I’m pretty sure that part of the plan is to retain those on-street stops for routes that continue on to GoRaleigh Station

At least for the 100, the GoTriangle Board of Trustees had a discussion item last Wednesday on shifting the 100’s route so that it would serve both RUS and GoRaleigh Station.

Note that this also gets rid of a few stops along Hillsborough to make the bus run more smoothly, too.

This meeting attachment from GoTriangle makes me think that the 9 would also continue to serve both bus terminals:

@GoTriangle document

Route 100 will be realigned in downtown Raleigh from Hillsborough Street to Morgan Street between the roundabout at Hillsborough Street at Morgan Street and GoRaleigh Station to serve a stop exterior to Raleigh Union Station on West Street. This realignment will allow Route 100 to provide connections between GoRaleigh Station and Raleigh Union Station – Bus Facility when it opens in summer of 2025.

To help improve on-time performance and to compliment the new frequent local service provided by GoRaleigh Route 9, a total of six stops, three eastbound and three westbound, are proposed to be removed between I-440 and Morgan Street
