MOD (Mobility On-Demand by Yuba- Sutter Transit) is a compact, shared transit bus that uses real-time on-demand technology to efficiently connect you to local fixed routes within your service zone. This corner-to-corner zone service ensures easy access to nearby transit hubs, making your journey smoother and more convenient.

When you book with MOD, you’ll get a pick-up time window and directions to a nearby pick-up point through the app, or by text or a phone call. MOD is all about shorter wait time and faster connections to and from nearby transit hubs and destinations.  Additionally, MOD vehicles are safe and accessible, featuring wheelchair access, designated priority seating with securement areas, and a front bike rack, making MOD easy to use.

MOD is designed to provide riders with direct connections to Yuba-Sutter Transit’s local fixed routes, making cross-town travel more convenient. Zones are localized to meet specific transportation needs, and the MOD Ride app provides up-to-date information based on your location. 

Users outside the currently available MOD zones will not be able to see or schedule rides.

MOD will first be implemented in Linda and Olivehurst. 

In Linda, the MOD zone overlaps with #1, #3 and #6 local fixed routes. 

In Olivehurst, the MOD zone overlaps with #3 local fixed route and the McGowan Park & Ride (Hwy 70) Sacramento Commuter & Midday Express bus stop. 

The image below shows the MOD zones. 

Yes! Our MOD buses are designed for convenient corner-to-corner service and are equipped with floor ramps for wheelchair accessibility and individuals with mobility aids.

No. You will be able to schedule a trip utilizing the app on your phone or a desktop computer, or by calling customer service at (530) MOD-RIDE (663-7433). 

Whether you're booking a ride on the app, calling customer service or booking on the web browser, this information will be asked:

• Full name
• Phone number
• Email address (optional)
• Pickup location and destination
• Use of wheelchairs or mobility aids
• Party size (this includes children and attendants)

Like Uber or Lyft, MOD is designed to be available on-demand without advanced reservation. When you request a ride in the app or by phone, you’ll be provided with real-time vehicle availability and your choice of pickup times. Sometime after the initial launch, subscription MOD trips may be made available to frequent riders subject to vehicle capacity.  

MOD pickup locations will be closer than the nearest bus stop. Depending on availability and distance, riders with mobility aids or wheelchairs may be picked up at the doorstep.  

Dial-A-Ride will still be available for those who need a confirmed door-to-door service and additional pickup time .  For Dial-A-Ride eligibility or for more information, please visit Dial-A-Ride - Yuba-Sutter Transit

Canceling is easy and appreciated! You can cancel directly on the app, by calling customer service at (530) MOD-RIDE (663-7433) or via SMS. 

Please be courteous and call to cancel unwanted reservations even if the bus is just moments away from arrival.

Payment options for MOD are just as easy as using any of our other services! You can pay with cash, paper tickets or with the Connect Card Electronic Fare Card.  Payment is NOT available trough the app. Please be ready to pay when boarding the MOD vehicle.
