San Antonio Introduces the Silver Line: A New Era for Public Transit

San Antonio Looks to Enhance Its Transit System with the Silver Line

Hey San Antonio! Exciting news is on the horizon for commuters and local residents. Our beloved public transit system is gearing up to make some significant changes, and this time, it revolves around a brand new rapid bus line called the Silver Line. The aim of this new transit option is to help you navigate the city much more efficiently, making your daily commute a breeze!

What is the Silver Line?

So, what’s the deal with the Silver Line? This new bus route will run from Our Lady of the Lake University located on the west side of town, all the way through downtown, and will end up at the Frost Bank Center on the east side. If you’ve ever faced frustration stuck in traffic, this line is designed with you in mind. One of the most exciting features of the Silver Line is its focus on bypassing traffic congestion, helping you get to your destination faster.

How Often Will the Buses Run?

Now, listen to this: VIA has big plans for the frequency of service! They are working hard to ensure that buses will be rolling every 10 minutes on weekdays and every 15 minutes on weekends. That’s right! You won’t be left standing at the bus stop for long, making it a great option for those spontaneous weekend outings or a quick trip downtown during the week.

We Want to Hear From You!

But here’s the best part: you have the chance to help shape this exciting new line! VIA leaders are reaching out to the community and want to hear your thoughts on the proposed Silver Line. Your input is crucial to making sure this service meets the needs of everyone in San Antonio.

Mark Your Calendars!

If you’re interested in sharing your thoughts, come out to one of the two upcoming community meetings. The first meeting is on Thursday, September 12, from 4:30 PM to 6:30 PM at the Barbara Jordan Community Center on East Commerce Street. This is a great opportunity to voice your opinions and ask questions directly to the leaders involved in this project.

Can’t make it on Thursday? No problem! There’s another meeting scheduled for Saturday, September 14, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM at the VIA Metropolitan Transit office located at 123 N. Medina Street. Come on down, meet fellow San Antonians interested in public transit, and let your voice be heard. Grab a cup of coffee, and let’s talk about how we can improve our city’s transit system together!
