Express 180 will continue operating between Fremont BART, Great Mall and downtown San Jose on weekends. Express 181 will operate on Stevenson Boulevard and Interstate 880 (instead of Interstate 680) to reduce travel time between downtown San Jose and Fremont.

WHEN & WHERE: Monday, July 13, 2009. VTA bus and light rail system.
