Capital Transit is excited to announce several expansions to our bus service for the 2025 summer season. All changes will start the week of Monday, April 21.
- Extended Sunday Service: for the summer, Sunday Core Service will be extended to match our year-round Saturday-level Core Service. Bus service will start earlier on Sunday morning, and end approximately 5 hours later Sunday evening, matching our year-round Saturday Core Service schedules.
- Added Weekend route 8 Downtown/Valley Express Service: for the summer, the Route 8 will operate approximately 8:30 am to 5:45 pm on both Saturday & Sunday, in addition to the normal Monday – Friday Route 8 service.
- Added Bus Service on Memorial Day and Labor Day Holidays: all routes will operate on normal schedules on these two holidays (Monday, May 26, 2025 and Monday, September 1, 2025) .
- Extra Inbound Route 8 Downtown Express run: for the summer, the last inbound run of the Route 8 Downtown Express will leave the Valley Transit Center at 5:45 pm, seven days/week (instead of 5:15 pm).
