San Pablo Avenue buses bypass two stops near Jack London Square due to police activity
San Pablo Buses Skip 2 Stops Due to Police Activity
Buses along San Pablo Avenue are bypassing two stops near Jack London Square due to police activity in the area, transit officials said. The service disruption affects the San Pablo Av & Moeser Ln stop and the San Pablo Av & Panama Av stop, forcing riders to use alternative locations. Officials haven't said which specific routes are affected or how many passengers typically use these stops.
Background
Transit agencies routinely adjust service when police activity blocks access to regular stops, according to the transit system. The bypassed stops are located along a busy corridor serving the Jack London Square area. Officials didn't provide details about the nature of the police activity or why the stops can't be served. Service disruptions due to law enforcement activity typically last several hours to several days depending on the situation.
Alternative Stop Locations
Riders who normally use the affected stops can board at San Pablo Av & Orchard Av or San Pablo Av & Columbia Av instead, transit officials said. The alternative stops are located nearby on the same corridor. Officials classified the disruption as high severity but didn't specify how far riders need to walk to reach the substitute stops. The agency announced the changes November 15 via social media but hasn't provided ridership impact estimates.
Timeline and Resolution
The stop bypasses began November 15, though officials haven't said when normal service will resume. Transit agencies typically restore regular service once police clear the area and deem it safe for buses to stop. A specific timeline for resolution wasn't provided. Officials said they'll update riders as the situation develops.
