AC Transit announced this week that the bus service will make stop changes to better accommodate riders and to reinstate stops along reconstructed roadways, starting Sunday, April 5.
Adjustments will also be made to offset Sunday-Thursday nighttime Webster Tube closures due to the Oakland Alameda Access Project, which will begin in April.
Highlights for Alameda bus riders:
- Drop-off only stops added for lines 51A and 851 on Park Street at Buena Vista Avenue to provide an option for riders on buses detoured due to nighttime Webster Tube closures, which will take place Sunday through Thursdays.
- Alameda-bound trips between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. on lines 19, 30, 51A, 96, O, and 851 will use the Park Street bridge instead of the Webster Tube, increasing travel times by about 15 minutes.
- Stops for lines 51A, O, and 851 will be added on Fruitvale Avenue at Alameda Avenue in both directions.
See more details in the chart below. Learn more about the Oakland Alameda Access Project online.
