{{AC Transit Line 72R}}

A rapid bus line was introduced on [[San Pablo Avenue]] on June 30, 2003. Designated as Line 72R (or San Pablo Rapid), it operates from 6 am to 7 pm at 12-minute intervals on weekdays, and 7 am to 7 pm at 15-minute intervals on weekends and holidays. Bus stops are spaced 2/3-mile apart on average, running between [[Jack London Square]] (via 20th Street and Broadway) in Oakland and [[Contra Costa College]] in San Pablo, and buses receive signal priority at several intersections. Although the line does have scheduled [[timing point|timepoint]]s en route, most buses typically travel along the route as fast (or as slow) as traffic allows.

Line 1R (or International Rapid) operated on weekdays between Berkeley Way and Oxford Street in Berkeley and [[Bay Fair station|Bay Fair BART station]] in San Leandro, mainly along [[Telegraph Avenue]], [[International Boulevard (Oakland, California)|International Boulevard]], and East 14th Street. Weekend and holiday service operated between Downtown Oakland and San Leandro only.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-04-19 |title=Marketing & Community Relations Priorities Through December 2006 |url=http://www.actransit.org/aboutac/bod/memos/29c6d6.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070811073107/http://www.actransit.org/aboutac/bod/memos/29c6d6.pdf |archive-date=2007-08-11 |publisher=AC Transit}}</ref><ref>[http://www.actransit.org/news/articledetail.wu?articleid=d00173cf "Change Happens: June 24," AC Transit Marketing, 15 May 2007] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071101064410/http://www.actransit.org/news/articledetail.wu?articleid=d00173cf |date=November 1, 2007 }}</ref>

Line 1R was discontinued in 2016. On August 9, 2020, the 1R was largely replaced by [[Tempo (bus rapid transit)|''Tempo'']], AC Transit's new ''[[Bus rapid transit|Bus Rapid Transit (BRT)]]'' route. Tempo operates between the [[19th Street Oakland station|Uptown Transit Center]] and the [[San Leandro station|San Leandro BART station]] via International Boulevard and East 14th Street. It features 46 brand new platform stations (curbside and center-median) with dedicated bus lanes along the majority of the route.<ref>{{Cite web|title=AC TRANSIT TEMPO OPENS TO RIDERS SUNDAY, AUGUST 9 {{!}} AC Transit|url=http://www.actransit.org/2020/08/07/ac-transit-tempo-opens-to-riders-sunday-august-9/|access-date=2020-08-14|website=www.actransit.org}}</ref> The Telegraph Avenue alignment of the 1R between the Uptown Transit Center and U.C.
