VTA’s light rail service is temporarily suspended

In light of the tragedy at VTA’s light rail yard, effective Tuesday, June 1, VTA announced that both light rail and substitute bus service are currently suspended. VTA is currently carrying out a phased plan to ensure that employees feel safe, secure and confident to return to their jobs.

Please call 408.321.2300 or email customer.service@vta.org for alternate trip plans using regular bus service. The TransitApp is also an option for real-time bus information. Our sympathies go out to the families and friends of the victims.
