Tuolumne County Transit - YARTS, Yosemite Area Regional Transportation

Public Transit to Yosemite

via YARTS - Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System

Tuolumne County Transit has partnered with YARTS and Yosemite National Park to help promote the public transit alternative into the Park!

We believe this is a great option for many visitors looking to get to Yosemite, for the following reasons:

Multiple Pickup locations and times (Sonora, Jamestown, Groveland and many Lodging establishments)
Convenience (no driving or parking hassles)
Cost (Adult fare from Sonora/Jamestown ($44 Regular, $22 Senior) includes Park entrance fee which is ($35) and child 12 and younger)
Experience (the drive to Yosemite is dramatic and beautiful, see it all through big windows on the bus)
Bus Only lanes (on busy days in the Park, some lanes are converted to bus only!)

Thanks for considering this option, and if you still have questions, give us a call 877-989-2787, between 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time (U.S.). After 6 p.m. message/response phone.
