Morrisville Left Out of BRT Plan | Durham News
Description
Sixty-foot orange buses are set to zip from downtown Raleigh to Research Triangle Park by 2035, bypassing Morrisville entirely — leaving locals frustrated and questioning whether they’re paying for a system that ignores their needs. Despite years of planning and a route chosen to maximize speed between major hubs, Morrisville’s council is pushing back, demanding better access and threatening to send a formal complaint to CAMPO — even though the plan’s final approval is just weeks away. The mayor argues the BRT’s purpose is regional efficiency, not local service, and that reducing car traffic benefits everyone — even if Morrisville’s ridership demand hasn’t yet justified a direct stop.
