Lines 30, 31 Resume Normal Service After Detour

San Francisco-San Jose metro riders can return to regular travel patterns as Lines 30 and 31 resumed normal service Saturday. The routes had been on detour due to police activity, skipping several stops between Buena Vista Ave. and San Leandro St., transit officials said. All regular stops are now being served again along the complete route.

Police Activity Prompted Temporary Route Changes

The service disruption was caused by police activity in the area, requiring buses to bypass a section of their normal routes. Transit agencies typically implement detours when law enforcement operations, emergency situations, or safety concerns affect regular bus corridors. Officials didn't provide details about the nature of the police activity that prompted the detour. The affected segment between Buena Vista Ave. and San Leandro St. includes several stops that were temporarily inaccessible to riders during the disruption.

Officials said passengers can now use standard route information for trip planning without accounting for the previous detour.

Normal Operations Resumed Saturday

The return to regular service took effect Saturday, allowing riders to resume their typical commute patterns. Transit officials said buses are operating as scheduled along the complete route.
