Salesforce Transit Center has once again opened its third level for transbay buses! We wasted no time in taking one of AC Transit's beloved double-deckers into the transit center on the J. Of course, the entire journey is filmed from the front of the top deck, which provides one of the greatest views you can get of San Francisco as you cross the Bay Bridge.
The transbay line featured in this video, the J, is one of AC Transit's most popular commuter-hour transbay lines and runs from Sacramento St/University Ave, where this video begins, to San Francisco.
Until the upload date of this video, the J, along with every other transbay bus service, used the Temporary Transbay Terminal while the Salesforce Transit Center received repairs. Since the new terminal is now (hopefully permanently) open, the temporary terminal has been shuttered and fenced off.
The new transit center comes equipped with a direct on- and off-ramp to and from I-80, which takes transbay buses straight into the third level of the transit center. This can be seen from the rooftop park at 35:27.
Some bus drivers appear to be confused by the new bus-only off-ramp, as is evidenced by the G bus in front of us at 30:40. They'll get used to it.
AC Transit received 15 Enviro 500 double-decker buses, manufactured by Alexander Dennis, in mid-2018, which first entered service at the end of that year. They can be found on the FS, J, LA and L lines, and will probably roll out to more routes in the future.

We are planning on riding more double-deckers on different lines into the city in the near future, so look out for those future journeys.
