Town of Truckee Transit Services

Whether you’re on a budget, sick of driving or have had a few too many adult beverages, the Town of Truckee offers public transportation that, depending on the season, can get you close to home, drop you off on the slopes and maybe even keep you out of the drunk tank. Winter time fixed routes generally run mid-December through mid-March from near the new Truckee Community Center with stops downtown, Donner Lake and the Donner Summit ski resorts of Donner Ski Ranch, Sugar Bowl, Soda Springs, and Boreal. Non-winter time fixed routes don’t go up Donner Summit but do include the Truckee-Tahoe Airport, community center, downtown, the Deerfield Drive area, Donner State Park and the west end of Donner Lake. For senior citizens and those with disabilities, the town offers a dial-a-ride service for trips within town limits.

BlueGo

The BluGo public bus service for Tahoe’s South Shore has three lines that provide service on the south end of Lake Tahoe. Route 50 is appropriately named, as it runs almost exclusively on U.S. Highway 50 (which is also Lake Tahoe Boulevard through most of the City of South Lake Tahoe) from the South Y Transit Center through South Lake Tahoe and Stateline to the Kingsbury Transit Center. Route 53 is similar but departs from Lake Tahoe Boulevard at Al Tahoe Boulevard and zigzags its way to Johnson and Glenwood and then along Ski Run to meet up with Pioneer Trail, which it follows back to the junction with Highway 50 and on over to the Kingsbury Transit Center. Route 23 has its base in the Heavenly Village and Stateline Transit Center area and follows Highway 50 through Stateline to Kingsbury Grade where it climbs up the hill to the Heavenly Stagecoach Lodge and the Ridge Resorts at the top of the mountain and then back down again. For bus travel farther into Nevada, the 20x line runs from the Stateline Transit Center up over Kingsbury Grade and into Carson Valley, while the 21x line travels from the Stateline center along U.S. Highway 50 along the East Shore up over Spooner Summit and into Carson City. Travel between Carson City and Minden/Gardnerville in the Carson Valley is available on the 19x.

With so many wonderful outdoor recreation opportunities interwoven between the communities, it is important to have a way to negotiate Lake Tahoe travel with ease. Things become much easier if you have your own transportation, here are some other alternatives. Grab the nearest rental car, taxi, limo, bus, or ski resort shuttle…and get here soon.
