A new app for Ride Plus, the on-demand transit service operated by SamTrans, will become available for download on Jan. 13.
The app is intended to ease booking for riders in Half Moon Bay, El Granada, East Palo Alto, and the Belle Haven neighborhood of Menlo Park, according to the San Mateo County Transit District.
Current customers are asked to continue using the existing app until Jan. 19. New users are advised to call customer service at (650) 238-5880 or book online until Jan. 19.
Existing customers will need a new account by Jan. 20, the transit district said in a press release.
Ride Plus, introduced in June 2023, offers on-demand transportation within two service zones: Half Moon Bay/El Granada and East Palo Alto/Belle Haven.
The service gives riders access to local destinations within the zones and connects them to regular SamTrans buses, the transit district said.
