Santa Barbara MTD makes service changes to local bus service every year in mid-August. This year’s changes will take effect the morning of Monday, Aug. 19. Other changes will phase in when UCSB fall classes begin.

Starting Monday, Aug. 19: The span of service on Line 15x (SBCC/UCSB Express) will be extended to 9:35 p.m., with hourly frequency after 6 p.m.

Starting Monday, Sept. 23: Increased 20-minute frequency on Line 27 (Isla Vista Shuttle) on weekdays during UCSB’s fall, spring and winter quarters is planned, pending driver availability.

The schedule changes are in response to community needs, increased demand for bus service, and to improve on-time performance, the MTD said.

The new schedule guide reflecting these changes is available online here. The printed version of the schedule guide is also available at the Transit Center and onboard buses.
