SamTrans riders board on El Camino Real near downtown San Mateo.
Starting Sunday, SamTrans will combine its 398 and KX routes to increase service into San Francisco.
The new route, now simply known as the 398, will travel from the Redwood City Transit Center to downtown San Francisco along El Camino Real and Highway 101, with small detours serving San Francisco International Airport and the San Bruno BART Station, according to the transit agency.
The route will run approximately hourly, from 5:07 a.m. to just after midnight on weekdays, and 5:50 a.m. to 11:10 p.m. on weekends. Previously, the KX only ran four buses per weekday, northbound in the mornings and southbound in the afternoons, with no weekend service.
The new route has 18 northbound and 19 southbound trips on weekdays, according to SamTrans.
