Eastern Sierra Transit is the operator of public transportation for the Eastern Sierra Region in California (between the Sierra Nevada and the California state line). The agency operates both inter-city and local services. They also offer Dial-a-ride service to disabled passengers in all service areas and to the general public in areas where there is no scheduled fixed-route service.[3] The Eastern Sierra Transit Authority was established in 2006 and took over the operations of Inyo Mono Transit in 2007.[4]

History

[edit | edit source]

In April 2024, Eastern Sierra Transit started the transition of its bus fleet to hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. [5]

Bus routes

[edit | edit source]

Due to its rural and seasonal nature, Eastern Sierra Transit is split into intercity and community routes. Mammoth Lakes operates multiple routes that are seasonally adjusted.

Intercity

[edit | edit source]

Intercity routes are known as Route 395 routes because they operate on U.S. Route 395. These routes travel from Lancaster to Reno, Nevada.

  • Lone Pine to Reno - Route (395 NORTH)[6]
  • Mammoth Lakes to Lancaster - Route (395 SOUTH)[7]
  • Lone Pine Express - From Lone Pine to Bishop[8]
  • Mammoth Express - From Bishop Airport to Mammoth Lakes[9]

Community routes

[edit | edit source]

Community routes run with a lower frequency and act as a lifeline service.

  • Walker to Mammoth Lakes[10]
  • Bridgeport to Carson City[11]
  • Benton to Bishop[12]
  • Tecopa to Pahrump - This route is currently suspended due to the lack of drivers.[13][14]
