Effective Monday, September 9, 2019, there will be schedule and route changes to weekday connecting bus service between San Francisco and Emeryville. The primary change is that the number of buses covering the
afternoon service to Sacramento-bound Train 542 (and the San Joaquins Train 718) will be reduced from three to two. As a result, bus departures from the Shopping Center (SFS) and Financial District/Hyatt (SFF) stop will be 15 minutes earlier. The scheduled departures from the Pier 39/Fishermanβs Wharf and Transbay Temporary Terminal stops will remain the same. There will be no other changes to the Capitol Corridor schedule.
The following table shows the schedule by stop before and after the September 9 schedule change.
| Bus Stop | Current Departure | NEW Departure (Effective 9/9/19) |
| Shopping Center (SFS) | 4:20pm | 4:05pm |
