San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans) provides bus service throughout San Mateo County and into portions of San Francisco and Palo Alto. SamTrans also serves BART stations south of Daly City and many of the CalTrain commuter stations all the way down to Palo Alto. The fleet consists of multiple series of Gillig Phantoms in 35 & 40 foot versions, Gillig Advantages, NABI 60 foot articulated buses and a new fleet of Gillig BRT style diesels featuring a new, update paint scheme.

Gillig BRT #452 is one of 135 Gilligs purchased by SamTrans to update their fleet and retired Gillig Phantom made in the mid-1990s. Here it is leaving Redwood City CalTrain Station:


Before the BRTs, SamTrans also purchased Gillig Advantage Low Floors for local service. Here is #340 serving a school day only run on Route 296:
