Express routes[]

SamTrans discontinued its last express route, KX, by merging it into line 398 in August 2018. Since then, the samTrans board adopted the Express Bus Feasibility Study on December 5, 2018.[3][4] The agency has recommended launching six new express routes, starting with two pilot routes scheduled to begin in summer 2019. The first route will travel between San Francisco and Foster City along US 101, and the second route will travel between San Francisco (Divisadero and Geary) and Palo Alto via I-280 and 19th Avenue in San Francisco. In the second phase, two new express routes will take advantage of managed lanes that will be added to US 101; one will provide service between San Bruno and East Palo Alto, and the other will run between San Mateo (via park-and-ride) and downtown San Francisco. The fifth and sixth new express routes will provide service between San Mateo and western San Francisco, and between Burlingame and downtown San Francisco.[5][6]

An early-morning weekday express route with limited trips, separate from the pilot program, was introduced on February 11, 2019. Route 713 provides replacement service for BART between 4:00 am and 5:00 am while seismic retrofit work is performed in the Transbay Tube. It runs between the Temporary Transbay Terminal and Millbrae station via SFO. [7]

The first new express route, designated FCX, is scheduled to start service on August 19, 2019. FCX will operate five to six trips in each direction with headways of approximately 30 minutes during peak weekday commute hours, using recent buses that feature onboard Wi-Fi.[8]
