Samtrans 140 bus stop, close to Clarendon, Sharp Park?

Question

I want to go to Tanforan, but I'm not sure where to get on the 140 because the nonschool days stops and school days stops are confusing.

So: What is the closest 140 stop? Do I have to walk a lot?

And please don't just give me a schedule, because I've already looked at that. :]

Learn to read the timetable, you'll need to to get back.

You can walk about a mile to bus stop "I" Palmento/West Manor and catch that once every half hour on weekdays or once every hour on weekends. Then ride the bus to bus stop "A" San Bruno BART, then walk to Tanforan which is right there. The ride costs $1 if you are under 17 and $1.50 if you are older. It takes about 35 mins. Come back the same way. Last bus back leaves at 6:06 pm on weekends and 10:31 pm on weekdays.

The 140 bus has two directions, you need to make sure you catch the direction towards San Bruno BART, that goes to Tanforan Shopping Center, which is called bus stop "A"

Then to get home you need to catch the 140 bus at San Bruno BART heading towards Pacific Manor. You get off at West Manor/Palmento, which is called bus stop "I" and from there you have to walk home about 1 to 1.5 miles depending on where you live on Clarendon Road

The only difference between weekdays and weekends is that the bus comes every half hour durring weekdays, and just once per hour on the weekend. You really do need to look at the schedule to see when they come.

Bus 140 comes to bus stop "I" at 3 mins after the hour and sometimes 33 mins after the hour on weekdays and 6 mins after the hour on weekends

Bus 140 comes to bus stop "A" at 24 mins after the hour and sometimes 54 mins after the hour on weekdays and 50 mins after the hour on weekends.

Good luck! (p.s. I don't live any where near you, I just googled the samTrans website for the timetable and used google maps to finds the streets and places you mentioned)
