Current Issues

This route suffers from poor scheduling at 38th & Blake Station, here buses are timed to depart 4 minutes before Eastbound A Line trains arrive.

Future Plans

The System Optimization Plan proposes to increase weekday frequency to 15 minutes, evening frequency to 30 minutes and weekend frequency to 30 minutes.
