Rapid Bus Lines Development

VIA is advancing public transit with two upcoming rapid bus lines: the Green and Silver Lines, designed to provide rail-like service at a reduced cost.

These lines will use dedicated lanes for frequent and speedy service every 10 minutes.

The Green Line will connect San Antonio International Airport to the Missions via San Pedro Avenue, with construction starting in July 2025 and operations expected by early 2028.
