“For example, taking new Route 19 and transferring to sbX to get from Yucaipa to San Bernardino will be faster than taking current Route 9.” “In many cases, customers can travel faster by connecting with sbX,” explained spokesperson Wendy Williams. To keep up with growing demand, Route 215 freeway express service between downtown San Bernardino and Riverside will offer 30- minute frequency on weekends, up from hourly. Meanwhile, frequency on Route 20 in Fontana will change to hourly from 30 minutes due to low ridership demand. OmniLink demand response transportation in Chino Hills and Yucaipa will end after August 29. Omnitrans is proposing changes that would impact bus routes throughout the San Bernardino valley effective September 8, 2015. Ridership on the general public dial-a-ride service has declined by 61 percent in the past four years as customers have shifted to OmniGo community shuttle routes launched in 2010. Plans include streamlining service in the west valley, adding a new freeway express route on I-10, realigning routes to serve a new transit center in San Bernardino, and implementing a new customer application process. The Omnitrans Board of Directors approved fare and service changes in May, following public hearings held in March. Complete information on Omnitrans’ September service and fare changes is available at.
