<p>"The Durham public transit (DATA) runs buses in Durham. One route goes through Duke’s West Campus. However I personally don’t know anyone who takes DATA. </p>
<p>You can also borrow a friend’s car or get a taxi (though the latter option is expensive)</p>
<p>Duke also recently started a ZipCar program on campus. They have, I believe, 2 Toyota Priuses and 2 Toyota Matrix(es?) that students can rent either by the hour or by the day. The hourly rate is $8 I believe and includes rent + insurance (and maybe gas?). It’s good for the occasional short errands/trips around town. I don’t know the precise details of this program as I have my own car but if you google ZipCars, you can probably find more info. "</p>
