SamTrans serves the San Mateo County Coastside communities, from Pacifica to Half Moon Bay, with several transportation options.
SamTrans Bus Service
SamTrans buses serve the coastside with several routes.
SamTrans Ride Plus
SamTrans Ride Plus is a brand-new public transit service offering convenient, affordable transportation for users in our service area, which at launch includes Half Moon Bay and East Palo Alto. Simply download the app, book your ride, and SamTrans does the rest. If you’ve used other curb-to-curb rideshare services before such as Uber or Lyft, the process will be comfortable and familiar.

RediCoast non-ADA
The purpose of RediCoast non-ADA is to provide curb-to-curb service in the mid-coastal part of the San Mateo County coast. All trips must start or end in the service area; however, RediCoast non-ADA prioritizes trips where the pick-up and drop-off locations are both within the service area.
RediCoast non-ADA will make every effort to provide trips that pick-up or drop-off outside the service area. Some trips may not be possible due to vehicle availability and demand within the service area. RediCoast non-ADA may need to group passengers together, especially for lengthy trips outside the service area, to limit the impact of these trips on the overall service.
