VIA Rapid Routes

VIA Rapid (or Advanced Rapid Transit) will be San Antonio's second Bus Rapid Transit system (Prímo 100 and former Prímo 101 were technically considered BRT lines until late 2017). The rapid transit system will feature a dedicated bus lane in either the center or the sides of the road, traffic signal priority, high frequencies, and bus stations with kiosks for off-board fare collection.

Early on, the Keep San Antonio Moving site mentioned that we would be getting two ART lines in addition to the Green and Silver line, though it is currently unknown whether we will still be getting them and/or what corridors VIA would consider for rapid transit.

Status	Line	Route Name	Route Description	Route Profile
		Green Line North-South ART	Add new route with 10 minute frequency to connect San Antonio International Airport to Brooks Transit Center via Isom Road, San Pedro Avenue, St. Mary's/Navarro, Steves Avenue, South Presa, Fair Avenue, and New Braunfels Avenue This line will initially begin service with the segment between SAT and Roosevelt & Steves. The segment between Steves Avenue and Brooks Transit Center will be completed at a later date.
		Silver Line East-West ART	Add new route with 10 minute frequency to connect Kel-Lac Transit Center to Eastside Transit Center via Old Highway 90, Commerce/Buena Vista, Cherry Street, and Houston Street This line will initially begin service with the segment between Commerce & General McMullen and Frost Bank Center.
