February 28, 2010 Service Changes

  • Sunday schedule changes take effect on Sunday, February 28, 2010
  • Weekday schedule changes take effect on Monday, March 1, 2010

Beginning February 28, 2010, MTS will implement changes to most of its Sunday bus routes and Sunday trolley schedules. Additionally, there are some trip discontinuations, frequency reductions, and route changes on other days. Please refer to the chart below for changes to the route(s) that you use. (Routes not shown have no changes effective on February 28.)

These reductions are made necessary by the State of California’s elimination of State Transit Assistance funding and reduced income from sales taxes and fares.

New timetables will be available starting in mid-February (or before) at www.sdmts.com, at the Transit Store, and on board MTS buses. Please see a new timetable for schedule details about your route(s), especially if you travel on Sundays. For more information, please check this page often.

Please be sure to pick up a new timetable for the routes with changes, as listed below. The timetables and maps are provided in PDF format. To read these files, you must have a PDF viewer installed on your system. You may use the free PDF viewer Adobe Acrobat Reader. Some timetable PDF files are large files.
