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 ($32) includes Park entrance fee ($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.
