Highway 17 Express

ROUTE CHANGE     SCHEDULE CHANGE

Weekdays/Weekends: Passengers will be dropped off at River Front Area 2 (Soquel Ave & Front) for easier transfers to Area 1. Buses will continue to depart from Area 4 - Front (Trader Joe’s).
Weekdays: Two additional round trips per weekday will increase the total to 29 trips each way. Popular “Express” trips going direct between Santa Cruz and San Jose will increase from 10 to 16. Trips serving Scotts Valley will be reduced from 17 to 13, but four trips per day in each direction will operate exclusively between Scotts Valley Transit Center and San Jose, giving Scotts Valley riders better access to a seat than on trips that begin in Santa Cruz. These trips will also serve Scotts Valley Drive. Santa Cruz customers can access these trips via a timed transfer on Route 35X.
