↑ There are a number of routes using a lettered scheme that are special service along a certain area, to a certain place, or express services (denoted by X). These include routes CSM, ECR, EPX, FCX, PCX, and SKY.

Express routes

SamTrans discontinued its last remaining express route, KX, by merging it into route 398 on August 5, 2018. Since then, the SamTrans board adopted the Express Bus Feasibility Study on December 5, 2018.^[3]^[4] The agency recommended launching six new express routes, starting with two pilot routes scheduled to begin in summer 2019. One route began service on schedule, but the other began service five years late. The first route, FCX, travels between San Francisco and Foster City along US 101. Route EPX provides service between San Bruno and East Palo Alto.

An early-morning weekday express route with limited trips, separate from the pilot program, was introduced on February 11, 2019. Route 713 provided replacement service for BART between 4:00 am and 5:00 am while seismic retrofit work was performed in the Transbay Tube. It currently runs between the Salesforce Transit Center and Millbrae Intermodal station via SFO Intl. Airport. This route was made a permanent addition.^[5]

The first new express route, designated FCX, started service on August 19, 2019. FCX operates two trips in each direction with headways of approximately 30 minutes during peak weekday commute hours, using recent buses that feature onboard Wi-Fi.^[6]^[7]

The next two express routes began in 2024, one serving between San Francisco/San Bruno and East Palo Alto (EPX). The other, PCX, serves Pacifica while serving stops at bus pads along the CA-1 freeway.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">All Nighter (bus service)</span> San Francisco Bay Area late night bus service

Portions of the service shadow the rapid transit and commuter rail services of BART and Caltrain, which are the major rail services between San Francisco, the East Bay, the Peninsula, and San Jose.

The Caltrain Express Program (CTX) was implemented from 2002 to 2004 to establish the Baby Bullet express service, which shortened the transit time on the Caltrain commuter rail line between San Francisco and San Jose, and certain stations in between. New locomotives and rolling stock were purchased for dedicated express service, bypassing most stations; quad-track overtake sections were added in two locations along the Peninsula Corridor right-of-way to allow express trains to pass slower local trains that were making all stops; tracks were also upgraded with continuous-welded rail; a centralized traffic control system was added; and crossovers were added every few miles to allow single-tracking trains around disabled trains. Congresswoman Jackie Speier, then serving as a California State Senator, is credited with securing the funding for CTX and one of the new locomotives acquired for the project is named for her as a result. During commute hours, the Baby Bullet went up to 20 percent faster than driving south from San Francisco to San Jose. On September 21, 2024, with the completion of the Caltrain modernization project and the transition to electrified trains, the Baby Bullet was renamed as simply the Express service.
