Expanded Summer Bus Service Starts Monday, April 21

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).

Please see the updated schedules on the bus or on the web at juneaucapitaltransit.org/schedules. You may also use Google Maps Transit Directions for trip planning with the expanded service by specifying a date of April 21 or later.
