SamTrans currently has a fleet of 296 buses of various sizes for its fixed-route service. Fifty-five are [[articulated bus]]es made by [[New Flyer Industries]] with the 10&nbsp;m (35&nbsp;ft) and 12&nbsp;m (40&nbsp;ft) buses with low flooring, are made by the [[Gillig]] Corporation. Each bus is equipped with [[GPS tracking]] providing both visual and voice next-stop announcements, and are accessible to passengers in wheelchairs and those with limited mobility.

In 2009, SamTrans added 135 custom made [[Gillig]] low floor buses to their fleet, numbered 400-490, 500-539 & 2900-2903, replacing 137 older Gillig Phantom buses in their fleet.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rosenberg, Mike |date=December 28, 2009 |title=SamTrans rolls out new buses with sleeker look, more features |work=East Bay Times |url=https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2009/12/28/samtrans-rolls-out-new-buses-with-sleeker-look-more-features/ |access-date=July 13, 2018}}</ref>

In 2018, SamTrans placed an order for 10 [[Proterra, Inc.|Proterra]] 40-foot Catalyst BE40s buses as a first step towards the goal to have an all-electric fleet by 2033.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=SamTrans Orders 10 Proterra Catalyst E2 Buses and Sets A 100 Percent Zero-Emission Fleet Goal by 2033 |date=March 14, 2018 |publisher=Cision PR Newswire |url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/samtrans-orders-10-proterra-catalyst-e2-buses-and-sets-a-100-percent-zero-emission-fleet-goal-by-2033-300613692.html |access-date=July 13, 2018}}</ref> The battery electric buses were expected to enter revenue service in early 2019, and a charging station will be installed at each SamTrans maintenance facility. However, issues with battery charges and turning radius led to Samtrans ending the program. Recently, Samtrans took possession and testing of a New Flyer battery power bus, which has now led to both bases getting chargers installed or in process of being installed.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Clark, Zachary |date=March 9, 2018 |title=SamTrans acquires 10 electric buses |work=San Mateo Daily Journal |url=https://www.smdailyjournal.com/news/local/samtrans-acquires-electric-buses/article_f3caf578-2348-11e8-8e1c-03710462545a.html |access-date=July 13, 2018}}</ref>
