Samtransxmuni Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hey would anyone know where or which route I could catch one of those new electric Proterra buses? I’ve seen one before at Colma Bart bound on the ECR to Palo Alto and I really want to ride one badly probably cause I’m sick of those Gillig brts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a cohesive list of which routes are operated by MV Transportation versus SamTrans? There's nothing clear on the Wiki; all I can find is scattered references. By all measures, SamTrans operates most service directly... but I feel like 80% of the time I come across a SamTrans bus, it's wearing MV decals. I can't discern any pattern. Info, anyone?

The 122, 292, & 296, 397 are Contracted by MV Transportation full time. After the Service Changes made on January 19th, 2020, and with the suspension of the ECR Rapid, The 398 is run by SamTrans on Weekdays and on Weekends is then Managed by MV Transportation. Routes: ECR, FCX, SFO, 110, 112, 118, 120, 121, 130, 140, 141, 250, 251, 256, 260, 270, 274, 275, 276, 278, 280, 281, 286, 294, & 295 are Managed by SamTrans full time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 152, 143 & 153 out of service on 1/24/2020. They were broken and their notes said "do not fix." 152 has since been fixed and has returned to the district now that it has retired. 143 & 153 are still there as of last week. They are retired too, but I believe SamTrans will not take them back from MV until they are drivable again. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detroit Diesel 6V92TA Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 148 is the final NABI left in service as of yesterday.

MV has officially purchased 143, 153 & 152 from SamTrans. The reason why is because they have engine problems and would cost more to fix to make drivable again vs. just buying them and sending them to auction or scrap. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samtransxmuni Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Question, has there been anybody out there or maybe the bus museum out in Fremont interested in preserving one of those NABIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend is interested and another friend wants one as a storage bus. Might not be as easy now though since they appear to be putting junk tires on the buses unlike the first auction. We'll see what happens. No museums are interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob's Transport Hub Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 SamTrans is currently working on this service change project called "Reimagine SamTrans". It aims to either retain geographical coverage, Improve rail connections, and/or Direct/High Frequency service within San Mateo County.

I'd be excited to see the ECR Rapid return, but that's all that generally impacts my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
