SamTrans Seeks Community Input on Proposed Day Pass
First meeting being held today in Half Moon Bay.
SamTrans is seeking public input at four community meetings this
week on whether it should create a day pass and make a number of other changes.
The agency is considering creating a day pass that would allow SamTrans customers to ride all day.
The pass, which would cost three times the price of a one-way fare, would offer an option to customers who ride more than one bus daily,
representatives said. SamTrans does not offer transfers.

The agency is also considering other changes to its codified tariff -- which outlines SamTrans fares and rules -- including revising language to reflect the implementation of the Clipper card.
The proposed language revisions include eliminating monthly paper
passes and clarifying interagency transfer agreements, SamTrans officials said.
