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.

The following routing changes will also go into effect on Monday, April 21:

• The route 4 Mendenhall Valley will add stop #573 –  Vintage Boulevard and Clinton Driver near Safeway and the SEARHC Campus, located between stop #600 – Valley Transit Center and stop #455 –  Juneau Job Center.
• The route 8 Valley Express will travel non-stop on Egan Drive from 12^th Street downtown to the Western Auto stop. The route 8 Valley Express will not service the following stops:

  • #407 – Glacier Avenue & Ross Way
  • #408 – Glacier Highway at 1547 Glacier Highway (S-Curves)
