where are the park and ride lots these days? the transportation page for park and ride hasn't been updated since 2005 and i just got back from trying to catch a bus over at the vet school lot and/or carter finley, but didn't see a sign for where the actual stop is anywhere (and there were only a couple cars in the carter finley lot). so where are the actual bus stops for these lots? is it a better idea to just use the centennial park and ride?

there was a sign saying otherwise the last time i checked. mind you, this was last year and i didn't go by today. is there anyone who has used that lot this year?

thanks for the suggestions, i haven't had to deal with any of this stuff for the last five years, but i didn't renew my permit for this year because i'm going to be gone in october. i typically ride the bus from durham, but there are some days when i just need my car in raleigh.

Park at Foodlion on Avent Ferry and ride either bus.
Park on Crest and get on Greek Court.

A great way to chance getting towed.

carter finley is quite convenient for me, but tomorrow(9/3) it is not operating due to the football game...so Westgrove it is

9/2/2009 2:37:18 PM

so westgrove is a legit park and ride lot?

You could just email NCSU DOT and they'll have an answer for you. They usually reply to emails within a half hour during business hours.

Did they recently change it? Last time I parked there they had parking spots for wolfline riders.

yea, there are signs for it right past the cinemas...the bus runs on the 15/30/45/00 of the hours IIRC

^According to the timetable, theres only 1 bus on that route, so its every 30 minutes (hence why I do the Carter Finley one, since its every 15 minutes). According to the driver the other day, they are adding another bus to that route for Thursday though, but there is no mention of it on their website. There are all sorts of other news announcements on that site, but nothing about the fact one of the Park and Rides is closed, which seems to be one of the more important things that should be mentioned.
