AC Transit 3-31-2019
Service changes effective Sunday, March 31, 2019
Highlights of changes:
- In order to better align the amount of scheduled service with the number of bus operators, schedules are being modified on lines 1, 6, 34 and 35 to reduce the amount of scheduled service. This means that fewer bus trips on all lines will need to be missed because no operators are available to operate them.
- Line G will begin and end its trips at El Cerrito Plaza BART.
- Early Bird Express Line 704 will be renumbered as Line 705, and Line 706 will begin service to Fruitvale BART.
