SHORTER WAITS

When the bus comes more often, more of your day is within reach.

If approved, most buses would run every 15–30 minutes on weekdays, with improved evening and weekend service. Weekday routes would no longer have one-hour gaps between buses. Today, many trips still hinge on a bus that runs only once an hour.

MORE FREQUENT

More routes running more often, and no more one-hour waits on weekdays.

86% of bus routes will run more often during weekdays. The map above reflects improvements to weekday route frequency (how often the bus arrives) currently and what we’re proposing with Prop 1.

Three Stream rapid routes

Stream rapid routes would expand from one route to three, with buses every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 20 minutes evenings and weekends.

Streamlined stops mean you get where you’re going sooner. New shelters, benches, solar lighting and real-time arrival signs are all part of the bus stop upgrades.
