The San Mateo County Transit District (or SamTrans) provides public transportation to San Mateo County, California and as well as portions of San Francisco and Palo Alto. SamTrans owns a fleet of approximately 310 buses, and operates over a network of 76 bus routes, several of which are contracted by MV Transportation.
History
- For direct predecessor and precursor bus service in San Mateo County, see Discontinued SamTrans Routes
- SamTrans was established in 1976.
- SamTrans took over the Greyhound peninsula commute routes in 1977. Afterward, SamTrans contracted with Greyhound to operate the routes. Greyhound lost the contract after their strike in 1990. Grosvenor Bus Lines was awarded the contract afterward and retained until the early 2000's. MV Transportation was awarded the contract afterward and remains as the contracted operator for several SamTrans routes today.
