Santa Rosa CityBus is built around routes that meet and transfer
Santa Rosa CityBus has fixed routes inside city limits, a downtown Transit Mall, route maps, fares, passes, and paratransit links that make local bus trips easier to plan.
Santa Rosa is spread out enough that a bus trip can feel confusing if you only look at one route at a time. CityBus is meant to work as a local network, with fixed routes inside city limits and buses that meet at regular transfer places.
The downtown Transit Mall is the main hub. It sits on Second Street between B Street and Mendocino Avenue, and it connects CityBus with regional services like Sonoma County Transit, Golden Gate Transit, and Mendocino Transit. A trip from a Santa Rosa neighborhood into the wider Sonoma County system often turns on that handoff.
For a regular errand, use the route list, system map, fare page, and trip planner together. The local routes cover places like Mendocino Avenue, Sebastopol Road, Rincon Valley, Bennett Valley, Stony Point Road, and Oakmont. If mobility access is part of the trip, the same CityBus menu has paratransit information, eligibility links, and rider guides.
