Save gas, save time, save money, by taking YARTS!

The Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS) is a regularly scheduled, fixed route, public transit system that operates year-round in the Yosemite region.

YARTS provides service into Yosemite National Park and gateway communities in comfortable, air-conditioned buses. Ride YARTS to avoid traffic and safely enjoy the scenery instead of watching the road.

The route that provides service along Tioga Road/Highway 120 East, connecting Mammoth Lakes, Tuolumne Meadows, and Yosemite Valley stops here, as well as the route that provides service along the Big Oak Flat Road/Highway 120 West, from Sonora to Yosemite Valley.

Purchase tickets on the bus with cash (exact change only), or with Visa, Mastercard, or Discover cards, or purchase online. All YARTS tickets include the entrance fee to Yosemite.
