Bus Rapid Transit

Your Ride. Upgraded.

Bus Rapid Transit is coming to Chapel Hill

A path for all of us

We’re building a better, more connected future for Chapel Hill. Bus Rapid Transit will connect our community from Eubanks Road to Southern Village, no matter how you travel.

The commute you deserve

• Get to downtown, UNC Campus, and UNC Hospitals faster and more reliably.
• Walk, bike, or roll on new multi-use paths.
• Reduce your time spent waiting behind a stopped bus.

We've always valued progress in transit. Bus Rapid Transit is the next step in that journey.

What is Bus Rapid Transit?

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) uses dedicated bus lanes and special stations to move busses more efficiently than ever before. This means less time ‌stuck behind a bus and more time for what matters to you.

Benefits for drivers and riders

Our new Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system is designed to benefit both drivers and riders.

• Fewer Delays for Everyone. BRT busses use dedicated lanes and get traffic signal priority. This means they get out of traffic and don't get stuck behind other vehicles, helping to reduce congestion on the road for drivers and making trips more reliable for everyone.

• New Car-Free Routes. A continuous multi-use path for walking, biking, and rolling offers a convenient way for people to travel without a car.

• More Convenient and Accessible. Modern, level boarding stations make it easy for everyone—including those with strollers or wheelchairs—to get on and off the bus.
