SamTrans in the East Bay, can't expect that right? I rode this with ‪@chrisontransit‬!
With two major track closure and service impacts, it will definitely be tough for riders to travel across the bay. Being that said, BART has track closure as crews will begin the process of replacing a series of interlockings between Rockridge, MacArthur, and 19th Street stations. Free buses will replace trains between all these stops, and more weekends will be affected in the later months.
There are three bus bridge routes available for riders. AC Transit is operating its route between 19th St Oakland and Rockridge, while SamTrans is operating between 19th St Oakland and MacArthur, and lastly County Connection operating between MacArthur and Rockridge. With this route, it mainly utilizes Telegraph Ave and Martin Luther King Jr. Way like the AC Transit 18, and then 40th St to MacArthur BART.

I’m surprised to see Samtrans in the Oakland side. Was expecting AC transit to have majority of the Bus Bridge. Knowing on weekends majority of there XD60 are in the garage due to the 40 using the Low floor gilligs

[@sfmunioperations]

Yep, I assume it also has to do with ACT having not enough ops

I remember SamTrans use to have service between Hayward BART and Hillsdale Caltrain via San Mateo Bridge, I think it was route 90E

[@sfmunioperations]

Yep lol
