    WAS great. I visited Durham a couple times per year and would enjoy the simplicity of just getting…read moreon and off. Covered most of my transportation needs once in town. Would be nice if web services were updated. My navigator had me using...pretty silly for such a well educated town. Some web sites still exist. The visitor info center and a major hotel could not explain rationale or whether expected to return. The White House and congress should take lessons in leak avoidance from Durham's leaders.

    Oh, Alexa S., I'm here and I'm ready to complain about this "free" bus. I'm pretty sure my tax…read moredollars as a resident of Durham (downtown at that) and the fact my employer contributes a major portion of BCC's operating budget so employees like me can utilize it are reasons this service is paid for and can be complained about. They've been trying to improve it by simplifying to the route to eliminate how confusing and nonsensical it was and removing the transit station stop to eliminate delays. However, it is still very delayed and the service is awful. I've tried using the bus probably a dozen times to get from Duke Hospital to downtown and I often find myself waiting 30-45 minutes. One time I literally waited so long that I started walking the two miles from the hospital to my apartment. I walked along the same path the bus takes and didn't even see a bus pass me during my walk. This wouldn't have been bad if it wasn't 98 degrees in the hot summer sun and I was in work clothes. The "average" time might be 17 minutes (doubtful), but what usually happens is the buses are so poorly planned that the two buses are literally 3 stops away from each other. So often times you're waiting a long time for the bus and another one will be right behind it. This is absolutely useless, makes no sense, and a waste of having two buses. The bus stop running at 9pm on Saturdays, which doesn't suit how much downtown Durham is growing into a cool night spot. The bus drivers are also not very helpful, they're as brusque as transit operators in a city 10x the size of Durham. Once I was walking from Sam's Quik at night and trying to catch the bus, but there is a big gap in between stops around there. A bus passed by and I had to chase it all the way to the stop across from Whole Foods on Main St before they would pick me up. Thank god for red lights! I've never seen a small city bus driver so rude that they knew you were trying to get on their bus, but tried their best not to pick you up. It was also super crappy because there's no sidewalk on that area of Main St so I was literally running in the dark through the mud to catch this bus. In summary, BCC's has bad service, the buses are poorly planned and right behind each other, and expect to wait a long time for a bus. Durham, fix this situation because it is a joke. If you need an example of what works, the R-Line in Raleigh is great and much loved.

    Bottom line: Morrisville Smart Shuttle is yet another free resource provided by the town for its…read moreresidents. It is a good ride experience overall. It is done by app, and is pretty good system at the present time. I enjoyed my recent first experience on the shuttle. The Deets: Recently in having a day off, I decided to try out the new Morrisville Smart Shuttle to get to one of the local restaurants here in town. This service is free for the use of the Morrisville residents, a definite plus! The hours of operation per their website FAQs are Mon-Fri 7am-9pm, Sat 8am-8pm, and Sun 8am-7pm (see screen capture pic). There are designated "nodes" or shuttle stops that you can pick up the the shuttle and then go to one of the other "nodes" distributed in the town at various locations. The stops are shown on the shuttle's website. The shuttle is requested by a specific app that can be downloaded to phone/mobile device (again from the town's shuttle webpage, look for it on Yelp business page here). Not sure how this system will work when ridership picks up but works pretty well now, in that you put in your present location/starting "node" and your destination "node" and then the app will show how long it will take until the shuttle arrives at the "node"/stop for you and where it is currently...much like Lyft/Uber/etc. The shuttle bus itself is nice, new, clean and well marked. There is plenty of seating with a large designated area of seating especially for seniors and riders with disabilities. The driver was personable and did a great job, and knowing that a shuttle bus like this may not be the most smooth-as-velvet ride (you do feel the bumps, etc.), it was a good ride overall. It worked well both going to the restaurant location at the shopping center and back to my nearest home "node" as well. I liked this new mode of free public transportation provided by the Town of Morrisville, and it is yet another way that the town is providing for its residents. I am a fan!

Information for riding on the Tarheel Check out this website for the latest information and details: http://www.townofchapelhill.org/town-hall/departments-services/transit/tar-heel-express. You can see different pick-up locations, which usually include Friday Center, Southern Village, Airport Drive (103 Airport Drive, Chapel Hill), Jones Ferry and on Franklin Street directly in front of the Carolina Cafe. Because of recent construction, busses currently do not run from University Place, formerly University Mall. Buses run every 10-15 minutes prior to and during the game (and for approximately 45 minutes post-game). The buses are color-coded so you won't take the wrong one. However, if you're confused, look for a staff member in a bright yellow vest directing people!

I don't think that I have ever had a smoother experience getting to and from a sporting event on public transportation as I did on the Tarheel Express. $5 bucks to get round-trip transportation to the Dean Dome (they also service UNC football games) is a steal. Parking is always a pain at a sporting event.... made even harder due to the fact that it's on a school campus. Take the bus and avoid the hassle! Everything was very efficient and orderly. Highly recommend!
