New Capital Transit bus routes take off February 5

Beginning Monday, February 5, Capital Transit will launch several service changes—including new stops—to express, connector, and commuter routes in order to improve the travel experience and quality of service for patrons.

Service changes include:

• Routes 5 & 6: New stops have been added near Safeway & SEARHC on Vintage Boulevard, with easy connections at the Valley Transit Center.
• Route 7: Afternoon runs now depart at 2:00 p.m. & 5:00 p.m. from the Downtown Transit Center.
• Route 8: The Valley Express departs the Downtown Transit Center 5 minutes earlier and travel along Mendenhall Loop & Riverside Drive. Riders can flag down the bus on Riverside where safe.
• Route 9: Inbound service from the Valley Transit Center has been consolidated, with one run at 6:40 a.m. As an alternative, riders can use Route 8 which now serves Riverside Drive.
• Route 10: This route has been discontinued. Instead, use Route 8 with stops along Mendenhall Loop Road and Riverside Drive.

A summary of all route service changes and updated schedules is available at juneaucapitaltransit.org/schedules. Google Maps Transit directions also reflect the upcoming service expansion.
