Pasadena Transit Route 20 Detours November 12–13 During Fair Oaks Avenue Resurfacing

PASADENA — November 8, 2026. Riders who normally use Pasadena Transit Route 20 on Fair Oaks Avenue need to check their stop before Thursday and Friday, November 12–13. The transit agency announced a temporary detour because of resurfacing work.

Where will the bus go?

The official November 6 transit service advisory says Route 20 will detour along Lincoln Avenue between Washington Boulevard and Mountain Street, rather than its normal Fair Oaks Avenue segment. The detour is described as all day on both Thursday, November 12, and Friday, November 13. Temporary stops are at existing transit stop locations along the alternate route.

Who may be affected?

People commuting, attending medical appointments or traveling to local businesses along the affected Fair Oaks segment should not assume their normal stop will be served. A detour to Lincoln Avenue can require a different walk to the bus or extra time. The advisory does not provide a promise that a particular bus will arrive on time.

How to find the alternate stop

Pasadena Transit directs riders to use its trip-planning information or call dispatch at 626-791-7200. Riders with mobility needs can ask the operator or dispatch about the most suitable available stop. For the precise detour map and affected stops, use the official Pasadena Transit November 6 announcements.

Different from the CicLAvia detours

Pasadena Transit has also warned of a separate set of temporary bus-route changes for the November 15 CicLAvia event. The two notices cover different dates and causes; they should not be combined into a fictitious uninterrupted three-day closure.
