Detours Due to South Road Lane Closure Ending August 24

On Monday, August 24th, all Chapel Hill Transit routes on detour due to the lane closure at South Columbia Street and South Road will return to their published routes. The turn has reopened to traffic.

Please note that construction activity in the area remains ongoing --delays remain likely.

 

A Route

OWASA's 18-month project on Rosemary Street will detour the A route. Customers in the Northside neighborhood will maintain service in both directions of travel. The detour enters from North Columbia Street, and no stops are served on Rosemary Street.

How to Read Route Maps and Schedules

Find Your Route

• Look at the route name or letter on the map (for example, "A Route"). 
• Determine which direction you need to go: eastbound or westbound.
• Make sure you're looking at the schedule for the correct day type: weekday or weekend.

Locate Your Stop

• Numbered symbols represent bus stops on the map.
• Find the stop closest to your starting point.

Understand Timepoints

• Time points are columns of times under stop names on the timetable.
• They show when the bus is scheduled to leave that stops.
• Timepoints are also on the route map.

What to Do if Your Stop Isn't Listed

• Sometimes your stop will be between two timepoints.
• In that case, the bus will arrive between the two listed times.
• For example, if your stop is between Stop A (8:00 a.m.) and Stop B (8:10 a.m.), the bus will likely arrive around 8:05 a.m.
