Fare Changes Effective July 1, 2025

Fares help keep our buses rolling. Starting July 1, a modest fare adjustment was implemented, as temporary pandemic relief funds have ended. We're pursuing new sustainable funding and internal cost-savings that support and preserve our bus network.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get updates about Service to Schools?

For the latest updates on bus service, please:

  • Sign up for line-specific eNews here for timely notification about changes that could impact you and your student(s)
  • Follow AC Transit on social media for live service updates
  • Check the AC Transit website frequently for planned service updates

What happens when a bus is at capacity?

Riders can check crowding information via the rider capacity feature. When the onboard count reaches these thresholds, the operator will change the external head-sign to “Drop-Off Only,” alerting awaiting riders that the bus will likely bypass the stop. The operator will continue to recognize requests, by onboard riders, to exit.
