BUS SERVICES Late Night Service
Many VIA customers ride the bus late at night. “Lineup” was developed to provide a last opportunity to get riders home before service ends for the night.
Every night at 10:30 p.m., 11:30 p.m. and 12:30 a.m., buses from many routes line up together within a few blocks of each other in the downtown area. Riders take this opportunity to easily transfer from one bus to another. Once all the buses have arrived and customers have made all their connections, the buses depart. These outgoing buses travel along a fixed route, turn around and then return to the 11:30 p.m. lineup or, in the case of the 12:30 a.m. lineup buses, the VIA garage. Because these buses need to serve as many riders as possible while still returning downtown or to the VIA garage by 11:30 p.m. or 12:30 a.m., routing is modified or combined with other routes. For example, a bus may depart downtown along route 4, stop short of finishing the entire route and then return on route 5. This route is listed here as route 204.
