The New VTA: New Service, New Standards, New Commitment

15-Minute Core Bus Routes:

The New VTA Bus Service maximizes service on 15 core routes by increasing service frequency throughout the day to 15-minutes or better, particularly in the mid-day and evening hours.

Routes include: 10, 22, 23, 25, 26, 55, 57/58, 60, 61/62, 64, 66/68 (in Monterey Rd. corridor), 70, 72, 73, 77, and 522

Community Bus Routes:

Shuttle Bus Service

Community Bus service utilizes smaller, 28-foot, 25-passenger vehicles that have a brand identity unique to the community they serve. VTA will be converting a number of routes throughout the county that have small, but loyal ridership to Community Bus service.

One major benefit of Community Bus service is the lower $1 single ride cash fare for adults and 50-cent single ride fares for seniors, individuals with diabilities and youth riders. Also, any other valid VTA fare, such as a Monthly Pass, are also accepted on Community Bus service. Outreach customers can show their valid photo I.D. and ride at no cost.

Routes include: 11, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 32, 34, 37, 39, 42, 45, 48, 49, 65, 88 and 89

Express Bus and Limited Routes:

VTA is launching two new Express Bus Routes that will attract new riders and provide faster service for commuters.

  • Express Line 168 - provides direct service between the Gilroy, Morgan Hill and the San Jose Diridon Transit Centers, via the recently opened HOV (carpool) lanes on Route 87.
  • Express Line 181 - provides direct service between the Fremont BART Station and downtown San Jose (in conjunction with Express Line 180 frequency improvements).
