AC Transit Adjusts Line 40 Service on Foothill

AC Transit Line 40 bypasses stops on Foothill Blvd between 23rd and 28th avenues for one hour

Line 40 Skips Stops on Foothill Blvd for One Hour

Riders on AC Transit's Line 40 heading to Bay Fair BART and Eastmont need to use alternate stops for about an hour. Buses are bypassing several stops along Foothill Boulevard between 23rd and 28th avenues, transit officials said. Riders can board at nearby stops at Foothill Boulevard and 21st Avenue or Foothill Boulevard and Fruitvale Avenue instead.

Temporary Service Adjustment

The stop skips affect a roughly five-block stretch of Foothill Boulevard in Oakland's Fruitvale district. Transit agencies typically implement temporary stop bypasses due to street conditions, special events, or operational needs, though officials didn't specify the reason for this particular service change. The affected segment serves a busy commercial corridor with frequent bus service. Officials said the disruption is expected to last approximately one hour, though a specific end time wasn't provided.

Alternative Boarding Locations

Riders who normally board between 23rd and 28th avenues should walk to either Foothill Boulevard and 21st Avenue or Foothill Boulevard and Fruitvale Avenue to catch Line 40 buses. Both alternative stops are within a few blocks of the affected area. Line 40 provides service connecting Oakland neighborhoods to the Bay Fair BART station in San Leandro and the Eastmont Transit Center. Officials didn't say how many stops are being skipped or how many riders typically use the affected stops during this time period.

Duration and Service Resumption

The stop skips are temporary and expected to last about one hour, according to transit officials. The agency didn't provide a specific time when normal service would resume to the affected stops. Riders should expect buses to return to regular stop patterns once the temporary bypass ends.

Rider Information

Passengers waiting at the skipped stops won't see Line 40 buses arrive during the bypass period and should walk to the nearest alternative stop. Transit officials said riders should allow extra time for their trips due to the temporary service change.
