The biggest service change was the consolidation of the SolanoExpress Routes 20, 30 and 40 into the Blue Line in mid-2018. Routes 20, 30, and 40 all operated on I-80 covering different segments with some overlap from Sacramento to the Walnut Creek BART station. Similarly, the new Blue Line serves Fairfield, Vacaville, Dixon, and Benicia and runs between downtown Sacramento and Pleasant Hill BART in Contra Costa County with a stop in Davis.The route operates Monday- Saturday. Similar to the previous service, frequency and coverage are reduced on Saturday and terminates service in Davis rather than Sacramento on Saturday. Service frequency also varies along the route on weekdays. As one route, transfers are eliminated and stop locations changed in Fairfield and Vacaville.
