i actually think that when coming back from the airport to duke after breaks, its so much easier to just use the rdu airport cabs that are parked right outside the terminals. people claim that they are more expensive and charlene’s or other random cab companies are cheaper, but thats really not always true. the most ive ever paid BY MYSELF for a cab from them is $30. if you split it with someone, its not bad at all and you dont have to keep calling to make sure some driver will be on time since they are always already there. at most it might be only a few dollars more expensive, but its always about the same price and ive never been tricked by them like some other companies do to college kids. you can also call them to come pick you up from your dorm to go to the airport if you want. i find charlene’s to be less reliable when it comes to being there at the exact time that you want them.
however, at certain times during the day that break ends, there is a free airport shuttle you can sign up for that is essentially a duke bus that transports people back and forth. it is also usually there at certain times on the day that break ends, so thats sometimes a good option.
