Yolobus is a public transportation service which primarily serves Yolo County, California.[4] In addition to Yolo County, Yolobus also serves parts of Sacramento.[5]

Yolobus operates local, intercity, and express service using a fleet of 48 full-size coach buses, nine paratransit vehicles, and eleven micro-transit vehicles.[6] Yolobus is administered by the Yolo County Transportation District (YoloTD).[7] Bus operations were formerly contracted to Transdev since 2006 but YoloTD switched to MV Transportation in 2026.[8][9] The system had a yearly ridership of 532,400 in 2025 and an average of 3,200 trips per weekday as of the second quarter of 2026.

Fleet

[edit]

As of 2026, the Yolobus fleet consists of the following:

Fares

[edit]

Riders pay different fares depending on route. Regular and Commute route pay a base fare while express riders pay a higher express fare. Yolobus offers day passes that are also valid on SacRT.

Routes

[edit]

Yolobus provides bus service to Yolo County, California, and also to western Sacramento County and northeastern Solano County. The following cities are served: Sacramento, West Sacramento, Southport, Davis, Woodland, Cache Creek, Madison, Esparto, Capay, Knights Landing, Dunnigan, Yolo, Vacaville.[10]

Most regular routes run hourly, 5–7 days a week. Commute and express routes run only at peak times in the mornings and evenings, Monday-Friday.

Many rural and commuter routes were reduced or suspended at the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and in 2022, as part of the YoloGo Comprehensive Operational Analysis, many of these cuts were made permanent as the new service plan favored increased headways on routes 42A and 42B and the launch of new microtransit offerings at the expense of fixed route coverage.
