Riders are advised that the situation for bus operations during demonstrations is fluid and that detours are determined and modified as required. Specific information is therefore typically not available or timely. We understand the potentially significant impact these detours may have on our customers and we will do our best to keep service running normally. Also, note that on Monday, January 19, all AC Transit local and transbay lines will operate on Sunday schedules in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr., Day.
