April Schedule Changes: What’s New?
Posted March 27th, 2017
Our bus schedules and routes will be new and improved starting April 23!
Get a sneak peek at the changes coming very soon!
Our brand new Spring Bus Books will feature these improvements to our service, effective Sunday, April 23rd.
Schedule Updates – We’ve made schedule adjustments to the following lines: Lines 178, 187, 190, 194, 270, 280, 481, 493, 495, 690, and the Silver Streak.
Construction – Lines 187, 270, 269, 281, 480, 486, and the Silver Streak will have minor stop changes due to various city construction projects.
Line 185 – Line 185 will now serve the Industry City Hall on weekday evenings. Weekend service will remain the same.
Line 187 – Line 187 will no longer stop inside the Sierra Madre Gold Line Station. It will now stop just outside the station on Foothill Blvd at the corner of Sierra Madre Villa Ave.
Time Points – We have removed some of the time points in the schedules for Line 187 and 690. Both lines will continue to serve all bus stops. However, some stops will no longer be listed as time points on our timetables, allowing buses more flexibility with traffic. Use the Trip Planner or call 1-800-RIDE-INFO (743-3463) to find the estimated time of arrival for any stop that isn’t a time point. (Time points are select bus stops marked on maps and schedules with specific pick-up times. If a bus arrives at a time point before the marked time for that time point, the bus will wait to depart that location until the marked time.)
Copies of the new Bus Book will be available on all our buses in the beginning of April, while supplies last.
You can also pick up a new Bus Book for free at any Transit Store before Sunday, May 7. After that, you will have to pay $1 to purchase a Bus Book. Remember to hold on to it! The information in it is good until the next one comes out.
The Spring 2017 Bus Book is a very special edition that has five different collectible covers! Each cover is unique, but all the pages inside the Bus Books are exactly the same.
The Bus Book is also available completely free online. Our E Bus Book allows you to choose just the information you’re interested in. You can print it or save it to your computer or phone. The new version will be available on April 26.
