SamTrans Service Cuts

Declining revenues for transit are hitting SamTrans and forcing service reductions on some routes, and outright cancellation of others.

The board, to their credit, is taking a fairly good approach to deciding where to cut, basing decisions primarily on what routes have the lowest ridership, but taking into account what alternatives those ex-riders will have, and trying to leave as few folks absolutely stranded as possible.

I note that in their worst-case scenario, there will be no more 295.

An overview of the proposed cuts and a schedule of community meetings can be found at SamTrans.com.

Your link to SamTrans is broken.

So if the 295 goes away, do you rename your blog?

You are on a new line, after all.

No 295 bus? *sniffle*

Fixed the link!

No matter what happens to the real life bus line, the 295bus blog ID (and my band name for Guitar Hero in the gameroom at work) stays.

The worst cut that they could make is eliminating the 397. The VTA is also looking at eliminating overnight service on the 22. That means that there would be NO overnight service AT ALL south of Daly City.
