Bus Route/Stop Bulletins
Bus Route-Specific or Stop-Specific service bulletins are displayed in the Departure Times and Where’s My Bus? window when the route or stop to which they apply is one of your route/direction/stop selections.
For example, a service bulletin created just Route 30 will be displayed in this field only if you select a stop on Route 30 to view departure times.
System-Wide Bulletins
System-Wide service bulletins are displayed regardless of your selections and will appear in the field with any route-specific or stop-specific selections.
Scheduled/Estimated Departure Times Explained:
The SacRT BusTracker shows scheduled or estimated departure/arrival times based on the location of the bus.
The scheduled time is the time the bus will arrive/depart based on the published trip schedule.
The estimated time is based on the real-time movement of the buses arriving within 30 minutes. The estimated time will generally be more accurate. Detours, traffic incidents, construction, weather, or equipment issues may cause delays that may impact the accuracy of the estimated stop departure times.
