The long-awaited Bull City Connector is on schedule to launch August 16, providing fare-free service from Golden Belt on the east end to Duke South Clinic at Duke University Medical Center on the western side, including stops throughout Downtown, Duke University, and Ninth Street. In addition to the new route, the current DATA Bus Route 5 will be free for NCCU students and faculty to help them access the Bull City Connector.
The connector buses will run Monday through Saturday from 7am-6pm at 15 minute intervals and from 6pm-midnight in 20 minute intervals.
In preparation, DCVB has been working with DATA and the City of Durham on a route map for riders. DCVB is also working with several Duke students who are preparing a flyer for returning students to educate them on the restaurants and cultural facilities that are easily accessible via the Connector. Additionally, DCVB, Duke University, the Durham Chamber, and DDI are working together to coordinate efforts to promote the route to residents and visitors.
