SAN JOSE, CA --

Changes began for South Bay residents who ride the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority.

VTA changes routes every year due to changes in demand and ridership.

In Morgan Hill, line 15 has been eliminated because of low ridership. Bus line 68, which runs from Gilroy to San Jose, saw an increase in riders.

Buses on that route will run every 15 minutes instead of the current every 30 minutes.
