SF Alameda Lines 51A, 30 Back on Track
Alameda transit Lines 51A and 30 resume normal routes after police activity detours
Alameda Lines 51A, 30 Resume Regular Routes
Alameda transit riders can use regular stops on Lines 51A and 30 again after police activity disrupted service earlier today. The buses returned to their normal routes along Webster Street between Santa Clara Avenue and Pacific Avenue, transit officials said. Service was fully restored by late afternoon, ending temporary detours that had riders skipping several stops in the affected area.
Police Activity Forced Temporary Detours
The service disruption stemmed from police activity in Alameda that required buses to avoid a section of Webster Street, according to the transit agency. Officials didn't specify the nature of the police activity or how long the detours were in effect before normal service resumed. Transit agencies typically reroute buses when law enforcement activity blocks regular routes, though the duration of such detours varies based on the incident. Specific details about the police activity weren't available by publication time.
Webster Street Corridor Fully Accessible
All stops along Webster Street between Santa Clara Avenue and Pacific Avenue are now accessible to riders on both lines, officials confirmed. The affected stretch includes several stops that serve residential and commercial areas in central Alameda. Officials didn't say how many stops were temporarily skipped during the detour or how many riders were affected by the service disruption. The transit agency posted the service restoration alert on January 27, confirming both lines had returned to regular operations.
Normal Operations Resume
Service returned to normal by late afternoon, with buses making all scheduled stops on their regular routes. Officials didn't provide a timeline for how long the detour lasted or whether any schedule delays persisted after the police activity concluded. The transit agency said riders can expect regular service on both lines going forward.
Riders Can Check Real-Time Updates
Passengers on Lines 51A and 30 should see no further disruptions from today's incident, though officials didn't say whether additional police activity could affect service.
