Thanks for stopping by our webpage on the bus route review changes for Half Moon Bay. See below for more information and route maps!
When will these changes take effect?
The route changes will take effect in conjunction with the start of O-Train Line 2. Currently it is unknown when Line 2 will be completed, but hopes are that it will happen this year.
​
We will keep you informed on the latest dates in our weekly newsletter.
What's the difference between the 75 and the 275?
The 75 is considered a frequent route, meaning that it provides, station-to-station bus service along the Transitway. The 75 has more stops but generally has a larger reach than the 200 series. The 75 operates 7 days a week, multiple times a day (and outside of rush hour). The 75 is an existing route that will be undergoing modifications.
​
The 200 series, connextion routes, are designed to be a quick, convenient connection from home to Line 1. Typically these service options are quicker due to fewer stops, thus providing a more direct service to Line1. However, the 200 series is generally limited to rush hours, aligning with increased demand. The 275 is a new route to accommodate growth in Half Moon Bay.
