On Board: FULL AC Transit Tempo Southbound Journey from 19th Street BART to San Leandro BART

With Transit Month in September 2021, and AC Transit offering free rides at the same time on Fridays, I took the opportunity to ride the agency’s first Bus Rapid Transit service (which is also the San Francisco Bay Area’s first, full-fledged BRT line, with VTA Rapid Lines 500, 522, and 523 as prototypes): the Tempo, also known as Route 1T. I rode the full line southbound from Broadway & 20th Street (19th Street BART) to San Leandro BART, complete with on board observations (and a point where I gave up a seat for an elderly passenger along International Blvd). The Tempo ride is one of the highlights of my Transit Month quest to reach all 27 transit agencies in the Bay Area in September, and although there is no front mounted bike rack for one of my friends, the bike rack inside the bus, similar to what VTA has on some of its New Flyer XDE60 articulated buses, allows cyclists to bring their bikes on the bus. The unit number is 2320, a 2017 New Flyer XD60 articulated bus modified for BRT, with three doors curbside and two doors on the driver’s side.
