The Livermore Amador Valley Transit Authority has announced changes to three Wheels bus routes that go into effect Monday (April 17), including increasing one Rapid route back to its pre-pandemic pace.

Routes 14 and 15 will see slight schedule changes to weekday service, with a new timetable for the two routes released by the transit agency this week. The schedule changes for the two routes are aimed at increasing transfer options to the third route that will see schedule changes, the Rapid Route 10R.

“The most significant change is that Route 10R buses will again operate every 15 minutes from approximately 6:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. on weekdays, restoring the frequencies to pre-pandemic levels,” LAVTA officials said in a statement on April 7. “The slight schedule changes to some trips on Routes 14 and 15 are being made to optimize transfer opportunities from these routes to the westbound Route 10R at the Livermore Transit Center.”

Rapid Route 10R provides service throughout the southern portion of the Tri-Valley, with stops at the Dublin-Pleasanton BART Station, Downtown Pleasanton, the Altamont Corridor Express (ACE) Station in Pleasanton and the Livermore Transit Center.

Routes 14 and 15 also stop at the Livermore Transit Center, which serves as a transfer point between the two regular routes and Rapid Route 10R.

Route 14 provides local service between Pleasanton and Livermore, with numerous stops along the route between and within the two cities. Route 15 provides services throughout downtown Livermore and the Springtown neighborhood.

The upcoming schedule changes will only affect weekday service on the three routes, with weekend schedules remaining the same. Learn more at wheelsbus.com/routes-and-schedules.
