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

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.
