Ever wonder why your Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) bus or light rail train sometimes does not show up as scheduled? VTA has a shortage of drivers, that’s why.

I will personally bring up what VTA is doing to address the driver shortage it currently has. One result of that shortage: no service for a few hours on the light rail line between Ohlone-Chynoweth and Almaden in both directions.
Light Rail Line 900 (Ohlone Chynoweth to Almaden) not in operation, please use Bus Line 13 or bus bridge in place – Details at https://t.co/mw52NjATYH

I’ll see you at this evening’s Board Of Directors’ meeting – now at the VTA Auditorium at 3331 N. First Street (off River Oaks) due to a labor union strike and protests at the County Offices.
