AC Transit rolls out major changes covering 85% of bus lines

AC Transit announced major bus line changes that go into effect Sunday and will impact 3 million monthly riders in the East Bay. The Alameda County transit agency said the changes will alter 85% of its bus lines from Richmond to Fremont in an attempt to provide riders with more reliable service. 'Shaped by two years of rider feedback, in-depth analysis, and equity, Realign is an ambitious effort to right-size the bus network in response to hybrid and remote work trends, changing ridership patterns, and ongoing fiscal challenges,' AC Transit officials wrote in a statement. In addition to premiering bus lines, other changes include where and how often buses stop in neighborhoods. In some areas, certain bus lines will discontinue service, the agency said. AC Transit said it's also making improvements at 1,500 bus stops, including adding new bus top flags and zip-tied pole signs that provide detailed information on the changes.
