Trains will arrive every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes during non-peak hours.
After over 20 years of planning, Sacramento Regional Transit opened the new Dos Rios light rail station to the public on Sept. 28. Trains will arrive every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes during non-peak periods.
SaRT began construction in November 2024 and completed the Dos Rio light rail station this month, roughly four months ahead of schedule. “The station is expected to improve connections to jobs, housing, health care and other services as residential and commercial development continues in the River District,” Leticia Ordaz writes for KCRA 3.
“SacRT also plans to discontinue bus Route 33 because the agency says it duplicates service now provided by the Dos Rios station. Route 33 is expected to continue for about two weeks before being replaced by Route 133, which will operate one morning trip Monday through Friday,” KCRA 3 reports.
