AC Transit rolls out major bus service changes affecting Richmond-Fremont routes

AC Transit rolled out major changes to its bus network, impacting 104 lines and nearly 85% of routes from Richmond to Fremont. The Realign Service Changes introduce adjustments in bus frequency, new routes, and the discontinuation of some lines to better allocate resources. This redesign is based on two years of comprehensive rider feedback, highlighting the agency's responsiveness to community needs. In addition, more than 1,500 bus stops will receive updated signage and decals to guide riders through the changes. Officials emphasize that these modifications aim to enhance service reliability and improve connections across the network.
