SamTrans Makes Bus Service Changes

SamTrans will make scheduling and service changes to 11 of its regular bus lines beginning Aug. 9, as a way of improving on-time performance and increasing connections within its system. The adjustments also include changes to schedules that operate only on school days, just as the summer is winding down and kids are heading back to school.

Route 122, which serves the Stonestown, Westlake, Serramonte and Westborough Square shopping centers, will extend evening and late night service. Riders will be able to shop later and students who attend San Francisco State University will enjoy better access getting to and from campus. 

The route changes are anticipated to increase ridership by doubling the number of northbound trips, particularly on evenings and weekends when riders are headed north to take advantage of shopping and entertainment activities near Stonestown Shopping Center.

The new Route 95 will serve Carlmont High School and Tierra Linda Middle School in the morning and the afternoon.

These adjustments will also allow SamTrans to provide a more reliable schedule for its passengers. The bus agency reviews and adjusts routes three times a year to account for changing traffic impacts and customer travel patterns.
