Routes

Yolobus provides bus service to Yolo County, California, and also to western Sacramento County and northeastern Solano County. The following cities are served: Sacramento, West Sacramento, Southport, Davis, Woodland, Cache Creek, Madison, Esparto, Capay, Knights Landing, Dunnigan, Yolo, Vacaville.[5]

Most regular routes run hourly, 5–7 days a week. Commute and express routes run only at peak times in the mornings and evenings, Monday-Friday.

Many rural and commuter routes were reduced or suspended at the onset of the COVID-19 Pandemic and in 2022, as part of the YoloGo Comprehensive Operational Analysis, many of these cuts were made perminant as the new service plan favored increased headways on routes 42A and 42B and the launch of new microtransit offerings at the expense of fixed route coverage.
