The Eastern Contra Costa Transit Authority (Tri Delta Transit) is expanding service on its popular Route 201 to Concord. The expansion includes eight additional trips between Pittsburg Bay Point BART and Concord BART Monday – Friday with convenient stops in Bay Point and Concord. The additional service begins Monday, February 22, 2016.
“The additional runs start as early as 5:10 am and continue as late at 7:33 pm. providing for more flexibility to commuters, students and the many people going to John Muir Medical Center in Concord,” said Mike Furnary, Director of Marketing. For commuters using BART to travel beyond Concord, the earlier runs make the bus a more viable option to get to BART and avoid parking problems and fees.
Route 201 is increasing in popularity because it allows customers to get to the center of Concord without having to use BART. “With their unlimited ride day pass, customers can travel between East Contra Costa County and Concord for a maximum cost of $3.75. The same round trip ride using both bus and BART would cost a total $7.65 for adult riders,” said Furnary.
Additionally, with the launch of Clipper on East County transit systems, once in Concord, customers can transfer to any County Connection bus without paying an additional fee. Day passes on Clipper are valid on all four East Bay operators: Tri Delta Transit, County Connection, WestCAT and Wheels in Livermore. “Clipper makes using Route 201 to Concord even more appealing as it basically allows unlimited rides throughout most of Contra Costa County all day long for just $3.75” said Furnary.
Tri Delta Transit Route 201 It is a popular route for commuters working in Concord as well as students of Mt. Diablo High School. It is a popular route to Pittsburg BART for residents of Bay Point and a major source of transportation serving John Muir Medical Center in Concord.
