30

Route 30 will no longer serve Orange, Hoffman and Chester streets. Riders will have faster trips to and from Pollicita Middle and JFK Elementary schools. Riders going to/from JFK Elementary who use stops on these streets should use the bus stop at E Market St & Wayandotte Ave (Bus ID 332555).

50

Route 50 will be rerouted from Casa de Campo to Los Prados Street in San Mateo. Riders traveling through this area may experience slightly longer travel times.

53 / 53P

Morning school drop-off will move behind Borel Middle School. Riders will use the same location for arrivals and departures and avoid morning drop-off traffic.

58

Morning school drop-off will move behind Borel Middle School. Riders will use the same location for arrivals and departures and avoid morning drop-off traffic.

Due to bridge construction in East Palo Alto, the bus stop at Woodland Avenue and Newell Road (Bus ID 363009) will be relocated to Woodland Avenue and Clarke Avenue for approximately one year.

138

Schedule has changed.

250

Route 250 will be rerouted from Casa de Campo to Los Prados Street in San Mateo. Riders traveling through this area may experience slightly longer travel times.

CSM

NOW WEEKDAYS ONLY.

CSM will operate on weekdays only. The last day of weekend service will be Saturday, August 1. Starting August 2, riders should use Route 250. 

Weekday CSM service will no longer serve Alameda de las Pulgas, Parrott Drive, W 5th Avenue, Dartmouth Road, or W 4th Avenue. Instead, buses will move to El Camino Real and continue along Highway 92, providing faster trips and improved connections to Route ECR.

ECR

Additional northbound ECR trips from Millbrae Transit Center to Daly City will operate during peak commute hours to improve service frequency.

ECR OWL

Route ECR OWL will become a loop route and will no longer end at SFO Airport. Some trip times will shift by 5 to 10 minutes. This change will improve connections to Muni Route 14 and provide additional travel options for riders traveling to and from SFO.

EPX

EPX will have a faster, more direct connection between East Palo Alto and Redwood City Transit Center. EPX will no longer serve stops at Chilco Drive and Hamilton Avenue, Florence Street and 17th Avenue, Bay Road and 8th Avenue, Bay Road and Warrington Avenue, or Broadway and Maple Street. Riders can connect to EPX using Routes 276, 281 or Ride Plus.

FCX

Weekday morning service will run from 6 to 9 a.m. every 45 minutes. Afternoon service will run from 3:45 to 6:45 p.m. every 45 minutes. Riders will have later morning service and earlier afternoons service. Some trip times have changed; riders should review the updated schedule.

Ride Plus - East Palo Alto

Palo Alto Transit Center will be added as a place to start or end a trip so riders will be able to connect to Caltrain, Dumbarton Express, Marguerite and VTA. Ride Plus will not stop between the transit center and East Palo Alto.

Ride Plus - Half Moon Bay

Moss Beach and Montara will be added to the service area, and rides will now begin at 7 a.m. daily.
