SamTrans to Discuss Terminating Routes

Article Source:

SamTrans will host a series of community meetings next week to discuss the possible elimination of Routes 11, 43 and 89, which have been identified as the lowest performers among the bus agency’s community routes.

The routes comprise a total of four daily trips and average about five riders per trip. On average, community routes serve approximately 19 riders per trip. Also, other routes currently serve riders in these service areas. Route 11: Routes 110, 112 and 120. Route 43: Routes ECR and 140. Route 89: Routes 83 and 296.

The community meetings will be held at the following locations:

Tuesday, May 23, 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Fernando Rivera School
Multipurpose Room
1255 Southgate Ave., Daly City

Wednesday, May 24, 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Thursday, May 25, 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

The San Mateo County Transit District Board will consider the proposal to eliminate the three routes on Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 2 p.m. at SamTrans Administrative Office, 1250 San Carlos Ave., San Carlos.
