VIA METROPOLITAN TRANSIT NEWS RELEASE 

VIA delivering frequency improvements for key routes

Five routes will begin offering higher frequency this spring.

SAN ANTONIO (Feb. 10, 2025) – VIA Metropolitan Transit is poised to increase frequency on several key routes, beginning this spring, in an effort to reduce wait times and provide faster connections for riders.

“We know there’s a direct correlation between high-frequency service and interest in transit use in our community,” VIA President and CEO Jon Gary Herrera said. “As our region continues to grow, it’s important for us to evolve, too, and provide transportation options that make sense for more residents and visitors. Our community has asked for it, and we’re delivering.”

The proposed frequency improvements will be on the following routes:

• 44 Pleasanton – Weekday frequency modified from 40 minutes to 30 minutes (6 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
• 68 Guadalupe – Weekday frequency modified from 20 minutes to 15 minutes (6 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
• 102 Primo Military – Weekday frequency modified from 15 minutes to 12 minutes (6 a.m. to 7 p.m.)
• 20 New Braunfels – Weekend frequency modified from 20 minutes to 15 minutes (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.)
• 26 Martin Luther King – Weekend frequency modified from 40 minutes to 30 minutes (8 a.m. to 6 p.m.)

When evaluating routes for increased frequency opportunities, VIA considers post-COVID travel patterns, operator availability, requests from the public, and potential for maximum positive ridership impact. 

A public hearing will be held at 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 19 at the VIA Metro Center, 1021 San Pedro Ave. VIA will provide more information on these improvements and gather community feedback to ensure the initiatives meet rider needs. Public comments can be submitted in person at the public hearing or online at VIAinfo.net/proposedchanges by 5 p.m. on Feb. 21.

VIA plans to introduce higher frequency on additional routes later this year.

More information regarding these updates can be found online at VIAinfo.net/proposedchanges.
