Officials have been working on these changes for three years.
"We were getting ready for the new BART service to come into Milpitas and North San Jose area, and we knew that was a great opportunity to really look at the service and see where we might make our biggest gains in ridership," said Brandi Childress, Santa Clara Valley Transportation.
