San Jose, Calif. – Changes to Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) bus service will begin on January 10, 2011. Most VTA bus routes will experience mostly minor schedule and/or frequency changes.
Effective Saturday, January 15, Line 180 will no longer operate on weekends. The service between Fremont BART, Great Mall and downtown San Jose will be provided by a modified Line 181. On weekends, Line 181 will deviate into the Great Mall Transit Center; otherwise the routing stays the same as the weekday route via Highway 880 and Stevenson Boulevard. As a result, weekend service will no longer be provided along Mission Boulevard in Fremont.
