Construction for VIA Metropolitan Transit’s Rapid Green Line has taken over San Pedro Avenue in San Antonio, causing headaches for some drivers. The $481 million project will make bus service more frequent between the San Antonio International Airport and Brooks Transit Center, with dedicated bus lanes and new signal-protected pedestrian crossings.

Project Timeline

VIA broke ground on the Green Line last summer and is expected to begin service in April 2028. The first segment expected to be complete is at the intersection of St. Mary’s Street and Eagleland Drive, which is hoped to be finished by the time students return to class at Brackenridge High School.

Residents can track project updates at KeepSAmoving.com. Despite the new improvements, fares are expected to remain $1.30. According to Rod Sanchez, who oversees VIA’s rapid transit projects, the project is a transformative one for the city.
