Line 1T Skips 20th Avenue Stop

Riders using Line 1T toward San Leandro BART need to plan for a service change affecting one stop. Transit officials announced January 27 that buses will skip the 20th Avenue stop until further notice, though they didn't say when normal service will resume. Passengers who typically board at 20th Avenue should use the 14th Avenue or 24th Avenue stops instead.

The stop skip affects only San Leandro BART-bound buses on Line 1T, according to the transit agency. Officials didn't provide details about why the stop is being bypassed or what work might be happening at the location. Transit agencies typically skip stops due to construction, safety concerns, or infrastructure repairs, though specific reasons for this change weren't available. The modification represents a temporary adjustment to regular service patterns that riders have come to expect on this route.

Passengers can use two alternative stops while 20th Avenue remains out of service. The 14th Avenue stop is located approximately six blocks before the closed stop, while 24th Avenue is about four blocks after it. Officials said riders should allow extra walking time to reach their destinations from these alternate boarding points. The agency hasn't released information about whether additional accommodations will be made for passengers with mobility challenges who may find the longer walks difficult.

The stop skip began January 27 and will continue indefinitely, transit officials said. No timeline for restoring service at 20th Avenue has been announced. A separate detour that had been affecting other portions of Line 1T has ended, with buses returning to their regular route for those segments. Officials said they'll provide updates when the 20th Avenue stop is ready to resume service, though they didn't specify how riders will be notified.

Riders who regularly use the 20th Avenue stop should plan their trips with extra time to walk from alternative stops. The change affects only one direction of travel on Line 1T, with San Leandro BART-bound buses bypassing the location.
