AC Transit made a slate of changes to bus routes that will go into effect starting in August, including the extension of Line 7 and reduction of less traveled lines in Berkeley, as announced Thursday. Line 7 will enter a 1-year trial period beginning August 6, restoring service to Ashby Avenue. Line 78, another route that just finished a 2-year pilot program, will not move forward as a permanent line. Other changes include adjusted schedule times to “improve reliability,” according to the release. These adjustments will be no more than a few minutes apart from the current schedule, the release states. Several lines near UC Berkeley campus, such as 51B and 79, will run less frequently throughout the day. Line 51B will run 15-minute cycles in the early mornings and late evenings, rather than its usual 12 minutes. Additionally, Line 79 will change from 30 to 36-minute cycles on weekends. 📸: Clarissa Arceo | clare.lens ✍️: Lily Button . . . #dailycal #berkeley #ucberkeley #actran...
