⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Transit Action EP21 | Santa Clara VTA Buses & Light Rail @ Downtown San Jose

Video category: Transit Action
Episode: 21
Agency: Santa Clara VTA
Routes: Blue Line, Green Line, 22, 23, 64A, 64B, 66, 68, 72, 73, 500, 522, 523
Location: E Santa Clara St & 2nd St
Welcome to Downtown San Jose! This place is just like the SF Market Street for San Jose, where you can spot a lot of different types of buses and light rail trains!
In this video you can see a big variety of buses, from shorty like Baby Gilligs, to regular 40-foot hybrids and diesels, suburban and belugas, and also 60-foot artics on the 22 and 522! In my opinion the Diesel buses sound the best, like the 1000 and 2200 series featured in the video, as they scream when taking off!
When BART gets extended into Downtown San Jose in the near future, will there be that many VTA routes left running on these streets? That is very unsure, but we can guarantee that the 500 will be the first route to sacrifice as it provides overlapping service...

I Love Vta Buses I Try Ride As Many Vta Buses As Can I Try Finds More Routes in The Future But I Stick With Vta Route I Normally Ride

Amazing how VTA still has those old gillig buses from the early 2000s. Many agencies don’t operate those anymore these days.
