Oakland Line 40 Adjusts Stops for One Hour
Oakland Line 40 buses skip two Foothill Boulevard stops for one hour due to unspecified issue
Oakland Line 40 Skips Two Stops for One Hour
Line 40 riders heading to Downtown Oakland need to use alternate stops for approximately one hour, transit officials said. Buses are skipping Foothill Blvd & 64th Av and Foothill Blvd & 61st Av during this period. Officials didn't specify the exact cause of the temporary stop skips.
Alternative Stops Available Nearby
The transit agency directed riders to use two nearby stops as alternatives during the service disruption. Foothill Blvd & Havenscourt Blvd and Foothill Blvd & Seminary Av remain in service for Line 40 passengers. Both alternative stops are located along the same Foothill Boulevard corridor. Transit agencies typically skip stops temporarily due to street closures, construction activity, or traffic incidents that prevent safe bus access.
Two Consecutive Stops Affected
The skipped stops—Foothill Blvd & 64th Av (stop ID 50596) and Foothill Blvd & 61st Av (stop ID 59797)—are consecutive stops along the Line 40 route. Officials didn't provide details about what's causing the temporary skip or whether the disruption affects buses in both directions. The one-hour duration suggests a short-term operational issue rather than planned maintenance. The agency hasn't said whether service will resume automatically after the hour or if additional updates will be provided.
Short-Term Service Adjustment
The approximately one-hour timeframe indicates a brief service modification, though officials didn't specify when the skip period began or when normal service will resume. Transit agencies typically implement temporary stop skips with minimal advance notice when unexpected conditions arise. The agency hasn't said whether riders will receive notification when buses return to normal stop patterns.
Riders Advised to Plan Accordingly
Passengers who typically use the affected stops should walk to Foothill Blvd & Havenscourt Blvd or Foothill Blvd & Seminary Av to catch Line 40 buses during the disruption. The short duration suggests minimal impact for most riders, though those with mobility challenges may need extra time to reach alternative stops.
