Downtown Construction Prompts VIA Service Revisions

Street project detours and other changes will be official Aug. 20, 2018

SAN ANTONIO (July 30, 2018) - VIA Metropolitan Transit will implement service adjustments beginning Monday, Aug. 20, 2018 to account for extensive construction in the downtown area, as well as small modifications in other parts of town.

The following routes have been modified to adjust for lane and road closures in the central business district. The routes were first placed on detours in June 2018, and the detours are now official service revisions.

17, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 70, 75, 77, 93, 94, and 100

The downtown lineup location was moved to Travis Park in June 2018 and the affected lineup routes are:

202, 204, 209, 214, 222, 225, 230, 232, 242, 243, 246, 251, 268, 275, 276, 277, 282, 288, 289, and 296

With these changes, the texting service (52020), automated trip planning feature, and next-bus digital signage will resume normal operations.

Additional service changes include route modifications in Leon Valley, in Alamo Heights, and on the far Northeast Side of San Antonio. They are:

  • 11 VIVA culture - Route modified to continue down New Braunfels Avenue past the McNay Art Museum, looping back to Broadway on Castano Avenue instead of circling the McNay.
  • 88 Bandera - Route modified to travel straight down Evers Road between Huebner Road and Bandera Road instead of detouring on Seneca Drive and Poss Road.
  • 640 Valley Forge - Route to continue as route 641 instead of route 14.
