Buses serving neighborhoods north and east of campus:
The 296 route is one of our most popular routes. It serves neighborhoods along Middlefield Rd. to our north, and neighborhoods in East Palo Alto to our east and southeast.
The 81 route serves East Palo Alto and Menlo Park. There are now additional routes to accommodate our bell schedule.
Buses serving neighborhoods west of campus:
SamTrans has adjusted the SamTrans 86 pick up time to improve the consistency of buses arriving on-time for riders. The morning trip will now depart five minutes earlier from Sharon Park/Sharon stop at 7:50 a.m. and arrive at Menlo-Atherton High School at 8:15 a.m. New schedules are available at www.samtrans.com/scheduleupdates.

District Buses: title
To accommodate SamTrans’s cancelation of the Ladera section of the 86 (formerly 286 route), SUHSD is providing afternoon bus service for students living along the Alpine Road corridor and Sharon Park. This bus (schedule linked here) leaves from the drop off area near the front entrance of the Performing Arts Center (the P.A.C.) at 4:15 Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and at 2:15 on Thursdays. Any changes to those departure times due to variations in our bell schedule will be noted in the school calendar available on mabears.org. We will always offer an afternoon bus at 1:15 on minimum days.
We are also partnering with the Ladera school district to provide a morning run for Ladera students that brings them to the 86 bus stop in Sharon Heights. You can find the schedule here.
