VIA Ridership Surges with Better Service | San Antonio News

from San Antonio News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

San Antonio’s VIA Transit is riding high on a ridership surge—adding two million trips this year alone, mostly on regular bus routes, marking its strongest performance since pre-pandemic days. The secret? Smarter, more frequent service: 72% of routes now run every 30 minutes or better, down from 70% last year, thanks to a major push to hire more drivers. While not every route is flawless, most riders feel faster, more reliable commutes. VIA’s leadership sees this as just the start, with more improvements on the horizon—proof that better service is pulling people back to public transit and brightening the city’s transit future.
