Madera Metro covers fixed routes and curbside Dial-A-Ride
Madera Metro provides fixed-route bus service plus Dial-A-Ride and ADA paratransit options, with route and scheduling help through the city's transit office.
Madera Metro is the city transit system, and it has two main shapes. Fixed-route buses follow set routes to places like shopping centers, schools, medical offices, work areas, and other daily stops. Dial-A-Ride and ADA paratransit are more direct curbside services for riders who qualify or need that service type.
The city transit page is useful because it keeps several small pieces in one place: route maps, service alerts, trip planning, Dial-A-Ride information, and contact details. For ride scheduling or route questions, the listed transit number is 559-661-RIDE.
Hours also differ by service. Fixed-route and Dial-A-Ride service run weekdays during the daytime and early evening, with Saturday daytime service. Sunday service is for Dial-A-Ride, ADA paratransit, and senior bus trips.
For someone new to Madera, the first choice is route or reservation. If the fixed route gets close enough, the map is the simple path. If the trip needs curbside service, the Dial-A-Ride details matter more.
