After two years of study, AC Transit announced new East Bay bus service “realignments,” set to start on August 10.
According to the City of Piedmont and the AC Transit website:
Line 33 service from downtown Oakland to the Piedmont Civic Center will be replaced with Line 88.
From downtown Oakland, Line 88 continues to downtown Berkeley via Market and Sacramento Streets.
Line 33 service along Park Boulevard from downtown Oakland to Montclair will be replaced with Line 18.
AC Transit has also cut the extended morning and afternoon school service on the old 33/new 88 route to Hampton/Estates Drive.
In their newsletter, the City of Piedmont said that it and the Piedmont Unified School District have submitted a joint letter to AC Transit urging the agency to restore this vital school-serving service.
