SamTrans Announces Bus Stop Change at Hillsdale Mall

Belmont residents who take SamTrans to Hillsdale Shopping Center should be aware of a change to the nearby bus stop on West Hillsdale Boulevard.

The bus stop, which is moving due to the redevelopment of the former Mervyn's store site, will be relocated one block west of its current location.

Customers will now board and disembark at the new bus stop, located on Hillsdale Boulevard just before Edison Street.

The following routes will be affected by the bus stop change:

• Route 54 westbound
• Route 250 southbound
• Route 251 eastbound/westbound
• Route 262 northbound/southbound
• Route 294 northbound

In addition, southbound Route 295 will no longer stop at West Hillsdale Boulevard. Instead, customers will board and disembark at the stop located on El Camino Real, just south of Hillsdale Boulevard near the Barnes & Noble bookstore.

Buses currently serving Hillsdale Boulevard near Wells Fargo Bank -- northbound Routes 250, 292 and 295 -- will not change. Buses currently serving El Camino Real and 31st Avenue -- eastbound and southbound Routes 54, 251, 262, 294 and 295 -- will also remain unchanged.

Arrival and departure times will not be affected.
