Service Update: Rear Door Boarding and No Fare Period Effective Monday, March 23, 2020

News Articles
03/22/2020

AC Transit is implementing rear-door boarding on buses with multiple doors.
Fare payment is not required until further notice.

AC Transit is deemed to provide an essential service during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This means we continue to serve riders who rely on public transit for vital access to resources, healthcare, and employment.

While operating, we are committed to the collective well-being and health of our riders and employees. This includes following social distancing measures. Customers are strongly encouraged to stay or sit 6-feet from other passengers and the bus operator when boarding, exiting and riding the bus.

Passengers requiring ADA ramps, utilizing mobility devices or need priority seating may continue to use the front door for boarding. Wheelchair riders may be allowed onboard without securements by bus operators.

AC Transit continues to follow the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local public health departments, to mitigate the transmission of coronavirus.

Please continue to stay informed by checking COVID-19 service updates at actransit.org, follow us on Twitter and Facebook and sign up for line-specific alerts.
