I visited Fresno twice from San Francisco and it would seem possible to catch the frequent train…read moreservice from Emeryville and then once I reach Fresno, catch FAX to whereever I was going. Both times, FAX has been a disappointment, involving buses that did not run on time, poor placement of bus stops that make connections hard, and require long walks; and buses that are dirty. The phone number posted on bus stops for transit information does not work, on both trip in November 2024 and in December 2023- even after contacting BOTH Greg at the FAX Adminstratiin and the Mayors Office- it seems that nobody in Fresno City Government cares about public bus service. Unfortanely - It simply is not possible to take the train from the Bay Area and rely on FAX to get around Fresno. Fresno is generally dark after sundown with poor streetlights - and there are no landmarks. My most recent experience - November of 2024, it took an hour and a half to get from Fresno Amtrak to the Woodward Park Library in the northern part of town, to meet up with some friends. The #1 bus on Blackstone is the only bus line FAX dies well, it runs every 15 minutes- although there are no stops near the Amtrak station for some strange reason. I just missed one bus, and the wait for the next bis was reasonable. However at El Paso Statiin, where you need to connect to the once-an-hour 58 bus, that bus was turning into the Riverwalk Shopping Center, while the 1 bus was stuck at a traffic light. The connection would have required a long walk anyway, as the bus stops are not placed close together or in logical places. I had to walk 30 minutes from the end of the #1 bus line at Woodward Park to the Library. Lieaving the Libraty, again the bus stops are placed in illogical and strange locations, and it took an hour and 45 minutes, to make the return trip to Fresno Amtrak - I barely caught my train back to the Bay Area. My previuos experience with FAX in December 2023 - I came to Fresno to see a music concert at the Fresno State Campus and I was literally stranded! I noticed the 9 - Shaw route only runs hourly after 9.30pm so I left the concert early - and waited at bus stop # 0826 ( Shaw and Woodrow) for a 9 bus to take me back to Shaw and Blackstone, where I would connect to the 1 BRT that runs in Blackstone. I arrived at bus stop 0826 at 10.10 pm - in plenty of time for the 10.28 departure. Not only did the 10.28 bus not show up- but the 11.28 pm bus also did show up!! The bus stop referenced that bus arrival times were available by calling the FAX information line, however calling FAX does not have an option to actually get arrival information for FAX buses. Even though I brought this to the attention of FAX management and the Mayors Office- in December 2023 ( Greg) - this was still a continuing problem in November 2024. I called for a taxi- that never showed up, and I had to BEG an Uber driver to come back for me after he took his other passengers to where ever they were going. Luckily this particular Uber driver came back for me at 11.40 pm and drove me back- otherwise I would have been stranded. I generally feel comfortable using public transit in San Francisco and in other major cities.........but not in Fresno. as a result of the poor FAX bus service, the lack of coordination and the poor signage - I'll avoid Fresno in the future. Attending both the concert at SaveMart Center in Fresno, and also meeting my friends at the Woodward Park Library were hell, and I don't need to go through this again............... I'll see future concert performances in the Bay Area or Las Vegas where they have decent workable public transportation options, realizable taxi service and the city isn't so dark.

Merced Transportation Center is where you'll catch the Greyhound buses in Merced. It's known as "The Bus", not really sure why. It used to be a Southern Pacific Railway Station for Greyhound getting to Sacramento, to the Bay Area and Los Angeles. And also you can get to Yosemite from here. It's in the heart of Merced and is small and does a good service for the buses and the trains. Right by the little old Spanish looking house, which is very Cali, so it works perfectly.

You can catch these all over town (like colds, or corona), and you can get into town initially using trains or dog buses.

First off, love its acronym lol (YARTS)…read more Pretty nifty service if you don't want to drive all the way to Yosemite National Park; there's a bit of winding-road areas against mountain edges when heading to the park. Bus fare includes park admission. There are multiple bus routes but some are seasonal. What I did is dropped my car at the Mariposa Park & Ride lot, which is a 45 min easy highway drive from Merced, then hopped on the bus and about 2 hours later reached Yosemite. Yes, taking the bus is slower than taking your own car (surprise surprise lol) so I advise to take the bus sometime in the morning (I took the first bus heading to Yosemite and that bus left the park & ride lot at around 6 am). Smooth bus ride (I easily fell asleep on the bus, to and from, lol). Bus is clean and has large windows so you can easily take photos on the way to the park. Bus drivers, to and from, were both very friendly. Besides the relatively long transportation time, the other downside I can think of when using YARTS is that you won't be able to access certain landmarks in Yosemite Valley (Bridalveil Fall, Tunnel View, etc.) that you would otherwise be able to if you brought your car with you. If those places aren't on your itinerary, I definitely recommend taking YARTS!
