On Dec. 28, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) launched light-rail service on its new Orange Line, which runs between Mountain View and the Alum Rock Transit Center in San Jose, California.

The new line, which also connects with Bay Area Rapid Transit service at Milpitas Station, is part of the agency’s redesigned transit service approved by VTA's board last year, VTA officials said in a press release.

The redesign also shortened the Blue Line, formerly known as the Alum Rock-Santa Teresa Line, to end at Baypointe Station in San Jose instead of Alum Rock; and the Green Line, previously the Mountain View-Winchester line, was shortened to end at Old Ironside Station in Santa Clara instead of Mountain View.
