History
See also: Colma station (Southern Pacific Railroad)

Colma was previously served by the Southern Pacific Railroad until passenger trains were discontinued in the early 1900s. The right of way was reused to construct the Daly City BART turn back in the late 1980s and then the extension further into San Mateo County.

The BART station opened on February 24, 1996 as the southernmost extent of the BART system on the San Francisco Peninsula until the extension to San Francisco International Airport and Millbrae opened in 2003.[2]

The station was "prominently featured" in the 2006 film Colma: The Musical.[3]

Bus connections

A busway on the east side of the station serves SamTrans bus lines ECR, 112, 120, 122, 130, and 138, along with a shuttle to the Crown Colony condominium development.[4][5]
