The transit authority has officially announced that the Blue Route will become a permanent part of our city landscape. It is heartening to see how our collective request was heard and honored by those in leadership. Please continue to utilize this service as we move forward together.

VIA introduced the Blue Route for the holiday season, where a bus comes every 15 minutes and connects Southtown with major downtown hotspots and the Pearl. It also runs until 11PM, which is great for those of us out enjoying our beautiful city in the evening. Public Transportation is vital to a vibrant and sustainable downtown. If you would like to see this route (or something similar) become a permanent amenity, please sign this petition.

I love at the Pearl. I've ridden the blue line a few times since it began here. I've actually talked to tourists who didn't know it was available. It would be well used with more exposure.

I think the Blue Route is an important addition to Downtown San Antonio. It connects downtown attractions to the recently developed densely populated areas directly north and south of downtown. I can attest to the regularity of the service....I live along the route.

We love your route but please STOP idling on South Main! The sound of the buses idling is much louder than you might imagine. We wish you could idle away from residential neighborhood?

There are 50 new single family homes ready to be built in 2016 on Roosevelt and S. Presa St. in Lavaca. Keep and extend the Blue Route.

As senior Lavaca residents it was most helpful to be able to get to our favorite downtown places by bus, especially in bad weather. It is also a welcome bonus to tourists staying in the area. It is our ardent wish that you continue this service indefinitely. It is most appreciated and would be an awesome New Years addition. Thank you so much for your consideration.

I've ridden the route and liked it very much. Picked it up about Alamo and Caesar Chavez. After a pleasant time at the Pearl, back to Southtown. Good for connecting major developing areas with a like minded consumer base.
