Reimagine SamTrams Public Outreach Results in New Route 117 for Faster Service on the Coastside with a Seton Coastside Medical Stop Every Trip

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

PRESS RELEASE. From San Mateo County SamTrans. As a result of the public outreach with “Reimagine SamTrans” schedule changes will be effective on Sunday, August 7th, 2022.

 

The former Route 17 will be rebranded to Route 117.

The new Route 117 will be simplified with fewer deviations off Highway 1, resulting in more direct service with buses every 60 minutes on weekends.

Seton Coastside Medical Center will be added as a stop on every trip!

Service to Sunshine Valley Road, 6th Street, Cañada Cove, and Pescadero will be eliminated. Riders from 6th Street and Cañada Cove will still be able to access Route 117 with a longer walk. Riders in Pescadero will be able to use SamCoast service.

Timed transfers will be implemented at the Linda Mar Park and Ride between Route 117 and Route 110.

 

 

Now 45-50 minutes between Moonridge to Linda Mar.

30 minutes from HMB Senior Center to Seton Coastside Medical Center.

 

Weekday

Weekend

 

 


Route 18, the SamTrans Coastside “School Bus”, will continue.

Here is the 2022/2023 schedule for Route 18.
