  • Finding a Shuttle

    Commute.org Shuttles are San Mateo County’s FREE first-last mile commuter shuttle system! If you see blue and green strips on a white shuttle bus, you’re looking at one of our 20+ different shuttle routes in San Mateo County connecting commuters to and from BART, Caltrain, and SF Bay Ferry.

    A few tips to find the right shuttle for you:

    • Our Trip Planning Tool (powered by Google Maps) will quickly show you if a Commute.org shuttle serves your origin or destination, as well as your alternative public transit options
    • If you already know the name of the shuttle or the city where you’re starting or ending your trip, then scroll up to see the list of our shuttles routes by city to find schedule and route details.

    All Commute.org shuttles are equipped with real-time GPS tracking to locate your shuttle during unexpected schedule delays. You can also use the map on the route-specific shuttle page to see where the shuttle is and when it’s expected at a designated stop. Please note that there can be a lag in the transmission of the location data, so we encourage riders to be at their stop earlier than the shuttle’s estimated arrival time.

  • Text Alerts

    Real-Time Alerts For Your Specific Shuttle Route 

    Certain conditions may delay or disrupt shuttle service. Stay informed about service changes or delays by signing up for our route-specific text alerts. When possible, we use text alerts to notify riders about schedule/stop adjustments and any other service-related issues that could affect the shuttle portion of your commute. Shuttle riders can sign up to receive alerts by texting the Alert Code (i.e. BCPALERTS) for their route to (833) 426-6688. Message and data rates may apply. Once subscribed, text STOP to stop receiving alerts or text HELP to receive help. Terms and Privacy Policy can be found at this link.

    Commute.org shuttles are part of a network of shuttles that run in San Mateo County. Not all shuttles are managed by Commute.org, but our customer service team is always available to help you connect to the operator of your specific shuttle.

    If you have any questions or comments about the shuttle service, we’d love to hear from you. Call (650) 588-1600 to speak with Commute.org staff or send an email to shuttles@commute.org.
