San Pablo Rapid

AC Transit » Service Area364 square miles » Population1,415,129 » Bus lines125 » Bus Fleet 650 » Bus stops6,500 » Annual service miles21 million » Daily Ridership206,259 AC Transit buses connect with 9 other public and private bus systems, 21 BART stations, 6 Amtrak stations, and 3 ferry terminals.

Total AC Transit Ridership

AC Transit Definition of Rapid Bus » Headway based schedule w/ maximum 12- minute headways » Stops one-half to two-thirds of a mile apart, on average » As many stops far side as possible » Traffic signal coordination, transit signal priority, queue jump lanes » Recognizable shelters, with Rapid branding and bus arrival information signs » Recognizable vehicles, with Rapid branding and features which reduce dwell time.

Service Changes for 72R » Headway-based schedule 12-minute peak frequency on top of local service » 26 Rapid stops at major intersections 0.54 miles apart on average » Far-side stops » 20% time savings calculated into schedule

Marketing - Branding

Technology Improvements for 72R » 3M’s Opticom Transit Signal Priority System » Coordination and re-timing of traffic signals » Addition of queue-jump lanes » Next Bus type Bus Arrival Information System in conjunction with Orbital A.V.L. system » 40’ three-door, low-floor Van Hool buses

Real-Time Bus Arrival Information

Line 72R - SAN PABLO RAPID BUS Implemented June 30, 2003

72R vs 72L » 72L from AM & PM (Total 7 hours) » 72R runs from 6 AM to 7 PM (Total 13 hours) » Direct Comparison of 72R to 72L trips, from AM & PM Goals > 20% decrease in running time > 25% ridership increase Results > 17% decrease in actual running time > 65.8 % ridership increase

Corridor Before & After 72R

Survey Responses

Corridor Ridership Gain Due to 72R » Local Bus Ridership Loss or Transfer = 3,030 (Lines 72 & 73/72M) » Percent of 72R Riders transferring from 72, 73, 72L = 40.5% (which is 73.3% of 55.2 %) » Corridor Ridership Loss = 1,802 (which is 59.5% of 3,030) » Percent Corridor Loss = 13.9% 1,802 divided by 12,926 (Total ridership before 72R) » Corridor Ridership Gain due to 72R = 20.3% from 13.9% (local ridership loss) plus 6.4% (total corridor increase)

Survey Responses

Performance Survey (All values in percent)

Future Actions » Complete TSP Evaluation » Complete NextBus Installations » Conduct Fall 2004 Study and Prepare Final Report » Begin Implementation of International/Telegraph Rapid Bus - Service Starts Early 2006
