Yolobus’ BeeLine services include rides that travel from within a city and go to and from a certain spot in Yolo County.

The paratransit service provides rides to those unable to use the agency’s fixed route services due to a disability. The service is ADA-compliant and operates within a ¾ mile boundary around the fixed route services.

Riders have to apply to access the paratransit services.

According to the Yolobus website, the Yolo Transportation District operates local and intercity public buses year-round that go through the cities of Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, Woodland, and downtown Sacramento.

The agency’s stops include UC Davis, Sacramento International Airport, UC Davis Medical Center, Sutter Health Park, and Cache Creek Casino Resort.
