SamTrans Runs to Bay to Breakers

SamTrans is providing special service for the Bay to Breakers footrace on Sunday, May 16 in San Francisco.

SamTrans will operate three special express bus routes along the Peninsula to carry both spectators and runners to and from the race.

Route 853 will travel along El Camino Real with stops at Fifth Avenue in San Mateo, Howard Avenue in Burlingame, Murchison Drive in Millbrae, and Jenevein and San Bruno avenues in San Bruno.

Route 870 will pick up riders only at Caņada College.

Route 881 will depart from the Palo Alto Caltrain Station, then travel along El Camino Real with stops at Ravenswood Avenue in Menlo Park; Amherst Avenue in Atherton; the Redwood City, San Carlos, Belmont and Hillsdale Caltrain stations; and the SamTrans Park and Ride lot at Highways 101 and 92 in San Mateo.

Buses will arrive at Second and Folsom streets, a few blocks from the starting line, by 7:10 a.m. Buses will drop off spectators on Sunset Boulevard by 7:40 a.m.

A "Participants' Bus" will be available for storing racers' non-valuable items, such as food, water and extra clothes, during the race and will meet racers near the finish line.

Following the race, the first bus will depart at 10 a.m., or when full. The last bus will leave at 2:30 p.m. Round-trip fare on SamTrans is $10.

Please note that Caltrain's weekend RRX bus service will not arrive before the race begins and passengers are advised to use SamTrans' bus service.
