BART is conducting seismic retrofit work in the Trans-Bay Tube mid-week during late hours until the end of May 2014. Single tracking will be in effect after 10pm most Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays during this safety project.

511 has rolled out a Beta version of its new Enhanced Trip Planner, with new features to allow Bay Area commuters and travelers to compare different types of trips and find their best alternatives.

The Enhanced Trip Planner highlights comparative trips from Point A to Point B at a glance for Driving, Public Transit, and Driving to Transit as a combined trip. Cost and travel time estimates are shown for these types of trips in an Overview, and additional alternatives are suggested for each of these trip types.

The Enhanced Trip Planner is available from the 511.org home page, and from the navigation tab "Enhanced Planner BETA" on various pages of 511.org. The 511 Transit Trip Planner and 511 Transit website section will continue to operate as usual, but now 511 customers have more ways to plan and compare their trips. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Now you can select "Lower Fares" as a preference option to filter and sort trip plans on 511 Transit.

The default preference is Fastest Trip, and Fewest Transfers and Less Walking are also available.

Lower Fares preference will search for trips that have the combined lowest fares (using "Leave at" times), for those who are looking to save money. These trips are not always the fastest or most direct, but are sorted by lower total fares per trip.

Not all possible combinations are reviewed for every trip (so as not to make the processing time too long), but the system will attempt to find more of the lower cost trips than when using the other preferences in the dropdown menu.

Give it a try and let us know how it works for you!
