Lines 1T, 14, 18, 22, 40, 62, and 96 all serve the Oakland venue, providing access from across the region.

Multiple Routes Serve Entertainment District

The seven bus lines connecting to the Kaiser Center provide coverage from different parts of the East Bay, according to AC Transit. The transit access supports the venue's upcoming schedule of musicals, concerts, and comedy shows. Officials didn't specify whether AC Transit plans additional service for evening performances or weekend events. Transit agencies typically evaluate service levels based on ridership demand and adjust frequencies for special events when warranted.

AC Transit's seven routes offer varying frequencies and span of service, though specific schedule details for January 24 weren't immediately available. The 1T line provides trunk service along Telegraph Avenue, while routes like the 40 and 62 connect to BART stations. Officials haven't said whether weekend frequencies will accommodate expected festival crowds. The transit agency didn't announce plans for service adjustments during the opening event.

The January 24 opening festival runs three hours, from 10am to 1pm, giving attendees time to explore the venue before the entertainment season begins. Officials said the free event will showcase what's planned for upcoming performances. A specific schedule of acts or activities during the festival wasn't provided. The venue's full performance calendar extends beyond the opening day, though officials haven't released dates for individual shows.
