September is Transit Month! 

This month, we’re celebrating transit, the buses, operators, and riders who keep Yuba-Sutter connected. Yuba-Sutter Transit is more than a trip. It connects our community to jobs, school, healthcare, community events, and everyday destinations while helping riders save money, reduce emissions, and ease traffic congestion.

If you’ve never tried transit, September is a great time to plan your first trip. Choose an easy destination - like a trip to downtown Sacramento, the farmers’ market, the movies, or a local event - and invite friends, family, or coworkers to ride along. Visit yubasuttertransit.com to see where Yuba-Sutter Transit can take you, or plan your trip using the Google Trip Planning tool at yubasuttertransit.com/trip-planning-tool.

Common Fare Issues and Useful Connect Card Reminders

The following fare payment and Connect Card tips are provided to speed passenger boardings, reduce conflicts and minimize your cost to ride the bus:

• A monthly pass is valid only during the calendar month for which it is purchased (plus a one-day grace period on the first calendar day of the next month). The one-day grace period applies only if the first calendar day is an actual service day. Otherwise, the applicable cash fare must be paid upon boarding without exception.
• We do not issue transfers, but using a Connect Card to pay the cash fare on any local fixed route bus automatically activates the daily cash fare cap provision of the electronic fare card system. As a result, the most you will pay each day is just three local one-way fares because all taps thereafter on that day are free of charge. The daily cap is tracked only on the local fixed route system and only for the first fare paid, so everyone needs their own Connect Card.
• Allow up to 48 hours for any online Connect Card purchase to appear on your card. Your paper receipt, a screenshot, or a print-out will not be accepted as proof of payment. If time is critical, in-person purchases made at any Connect Card outlet are loaded instantly, but only if the card is present.
• When purchasing a pass at an outlet, be sure to use the correct language so your card is loaded properly. If you want a disabled monthly pass, ask for “a disabled monthly pass for the month of _____”. If you simply ask for $10 on your card when you really want a discount monthly pass, the attendant may load $10 in cash value instead. Even then, check your receipt before you leave the outlet to ensure that your card has been loaded properly.
• Take care of your card. Do not bend, twist, wash, or punch holes in your card.

If you have a unique situation or circumstance that requires special consideration, please call the Administration Office at (530) 634-6880 before you attempt to board the bus.
