sbX is abus rapid transit (BRT)service inSan Bernardino andLoma Linda, California, United States. It is operated byOmnitrans, apublic transportation agency in southwesternSan Bernardino County. The route is internally named by Omnitrans as theGreen Line.[1]
sbX is intended to be a brand ofbus rapid transit service that will eventually traverse major surface streets throughout Omnitrans' service area.[2][3][4]
TheInstitute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP), under itsBRT Standard, has given the sbX corridor a Bronze ranking.[5]
Construction was set to finish in late 2013, but was pushed back due to ongoing construction atSan Bernardino's downtown transit center. Service began in April 2014.[6][7]
Omnitrans has begun making upgrades to its East Valley vehicle maintenance facility in San Bernardino, including modifications to its parking lot, service bays, bus wash, and fueling facility, to accommodate 60-foot buses, all of which have been purchased and acquired, to run on the sbX bus rapid transit (BRT) corridor.[8][9]
Omnitrans has received a grant from theFederal Transit Administration to conduct an alternatives analysis for the Holt Boulevard/4th Street Corridor and the cities of Ontario and Fontana are both conducting studies on the feasibility of bus rapid transit along the corridor in their cities. Additionally, planners inRancho Cucamonga are exploring recommendations on how to support high-density,transit-oriented development along theFoothill Boulevard corridor (Historic Route 66).[10]
TheSan Bernardino County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) is currently planning to grow the system to 10 BRT lines in the San Bernardino Valley.[11]
ThePurple Line, also known as theWest Valley Connector, is an under construction sbX route connectingPomona–Downtown station toOntario International Airport. It is expected to open in 2025,[12] with 21 stations at launch along Holt Boulevard.[13][14]
The Purple Line is slated to replace Omnitrans Route 82 west of the Ontario Mills mall with 15 minute frequencies.[15]
