SamTrans adding buses from Coastside to BART

Responding to our transportation crisis, SamTrans is adding two buses in the morning and two in the afternoon to connect Coastside commuters to BART.  The new service will begin Monday, June 5 and will run until the Slide opens.  "The service is costing about $100,000 out of our very lean operating budget," said Christine Dunn, SamTrans spokesperson.  "It’s based on the assumption the Slide will be open at the end of September."

CORRECTION:  An earlier version of this story referred to these buses as expresses. They in fact stop at all SamTrans stops on the Coastside.
