VTA’s 2025 Transit Service Plan

Another summer, another VTA annual service plan! Every summer, we look forward to speaking with you about what our transit network has to offer in the coming year. The 2025 Transit Service Plan will be focused on transit service changes around frequency, hours of operation, and bus reroutes that may influence how you travel throughout the county.

The 2025 Transit Service Plan builds upon VTA’s adopted 2024 Transit Service Plan – improving frequency and span on Frequent routes during certain times of day, redesigning or consolidating School-oriented bus routes, and increasing productivity on the network’s lowest-performing Local bus routes.

Major features of the draft plan so far include:

  • Frequency improvements earlier in the morning and/or later in the evening on four Frequent bus routes (Routes 23, 25, 66, 68), and one minor weekday frequency adjustment on one Frequent bus route (Route 77);
  • Extended morning hours on weekends on two Frequent bus routes (Routes 26, 70);
  • School-oriented service adjustments that meet actual student demand (Routes 70, 270, 87, 287, 288, and 288M);
  • Combining two Local bus routes in Milpitas to “right-size” the amount of service to ridership and increase productivity (Routes 44, 47);
  • Adjusting routing and schedules on one Local route in Palo Alto to update timed connections to Caltrain’s new electrification service and maintain connections to Frequent bus service (Route 89);
  • Discontinue a Service Partnership Route due to low ridership (SCVMC Shuttle).

There are no changes proposed for light rail service in 2025 (Blue, Green, Orange Lines). VTA plans to restore full light rail service on weekends, with trains running at every 20 minutes, as soon as light rail operator vacancies are filled.  

To leave room for these more urgent and impactful service changes in 2025, some service changes adopted in the 2024 Transit Service Plan are proposed to be put on hold to a future service plan when ridership warrants them. These changes make up just a small fraction of the service originally adopted for 2024 and include proposals such as

  • Frequency improvements on portions of routes (Routes 20, 51, 42)
  • Frequency restorations (Routes 57,61, 523)
  • Hours of operation (span) extensions (Routes 20, 42, 53, 57, 87)
  • Hours of operation (span) restorations (Routes 22, 52, 53)
  • New weekend service (Routes 31, 53)
