The COA will be complete soon. I am listing proposed changes. I do
not have specific and should have within a day or two, but more will
come by next week.
VTA plans to implement changes in three stages with stage one
beginning this July. Lines 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 19 would use
small buses. The next stage will be implemented in January 2008 and
the last in July 2008.

Route Modifications:
Line 64 service between where-I-liveltrain and Penitencia Creek LRT
is being discontinued. From where-I-liveltrain Line 64 will assume
the current Line 81 from Park/San Fernando to White/McKee on McKee.
Line 81 service east of Downtown SJ will be provided by Line 64.
Line 81 service west of Downtown SJ will be provided every 30
minutes by Line 81.
Increases in service:
Line 23 operate 12 mintues.
Line 25 operate 10 minutes all day between Alum Rock and Valley
Medical. I wonder why this line wasn't considered for BRT?
Lines 26/60 will have segments of their route operating 15 minutes
all day with the less travelled segments operating 30 minutes. I
don't know which segments.
Lines 71 would operate 15 minutes during peak
Lines 72 and 73 would operate 15 minutes during midday.
Line 77 would operate 15 minutes during midday and peak.
180 every scheduled will be timed to meet bart - so service will
drop from 30 to 15 during the day.
I don't have complete, details, but these were my notes. I will
post more information as I receive.
