Get There with GoTriangle
Thousands of newcomers will be moving to Garner over the next few years , beginning happy new lives in one of the more than 3,000 apartment units , townhouses or single-family homes that have been approved or are under construction inside the town ’ s planning jurisdiction .
With those new residents will come more cars . Fortunately , GoTriangle is ready to help them and the 30,000 current Garner residents find easier ways to get around .
During peak hours Monday through Friday , GoTriangle ’ s Route 102 travels between Garner and the GoRaleigh station in downtown Raleigh , leaving from and returning to two free parkand-ride lots . One lot is at White Oak Crossing near the intersection of I-40 and U . S . 70 with the spaces lining Shenstone Boulevard . The other is at Forest Hills Shopping Center , with the bus stop adjacent to the lot on 7th Avenue .
From the GoRaleigh station , Garner residents can travel to all points of the Triangle , including to Raleigh-Durham International Airport on GoTriangle Route 100 . Want to eliminate parking frustrations and take the bus to a Bulls game in Durham or to the planetarium in Chapel Hill ? From the GoRaleigh station , hop onto GoTriangle ’ s Route 105 to the Regional Transit
Center near Research Triangle Park then grab a 700 bus to Durham or an 800 bus to Chapel Hill . Those who need a quicker commute during peak hours on weekdays can take the CRX express route from the GoRaleigh station to Chapel Hill or the DRX express route to Durham . You can even work while you ride because every GoTriangle bus is equipped with free Wi-Fi .

Need an incentive to try transit ? A two-person household can save , on average , more than $ 10,174 a year by downsizing to one car . With its Share the Ride NC program , GoTriangle can help plan your commute and even reward you with its GoPerks program .
Share the Ride NC helps commuters find a match for carpools or vanpools or even a bicycling buddy . Those who use smart-commute modes can sign up at SRTNC . com , log their trips , accumulate points and enter to win prizes in monthly drawings .
Garner is Wake County ’ s “ Great Place to Be ,” but remember that more Triangle jobs and jollies are just a comfortable transit ride away .
