Starting Monday, August 9, AC Transit will begin service of the new Pilot Line 78.

Line 78 starts at Fruitvale BART and operates in Alameda along Santa Clara Avenue and Ralph Appezzato Memorial Parkway (RAMP), making it a great option to get to and from the ferry for commuters who live near the Santa Clara, Webster, and RAMP corridors.

Riders who use Clipper and take both Line 78 and the Alameda Seaplane ferry will enjoy the benefit of a free ride, thanks to a transfer discount equal to the local bus fare applied to the second leg of the trip.
