YARTS (Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System) provides safe, reliable, and convenient public transit to Yosemite National Park and surrounding communities. Since its start in May 2000, the Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System(YARTS) has been providing visitors to the Yosemite region with a comfortable, economical, and convenient alternative to driving. YARTS provides regularly scheduled public transit service into Yosemite National Park and the gateway communities along its routes in buses that are air-conditioned and equipped for rider comfort. Get out from behind the wheel and you will see Yosemite in a whole new way. YARTS operates year round on Highway 140 through Mariposa with multiple runs each day. There is also daily service from Mammoth Lakes and Mono County during the summer (typically June through September), when Tioga Pass Road is open. The YARTS schedule makes connections with all intercity transportation providers in Merced: Amtrak, Greyhound, and Great Lakes Airlines at the Merced Airport. In Mono County, YARTS allows connections with "The Crest" bus that runs between Reno, NV and Lancaster, CA on Highway 395.
