Bus routes
Due to its rural and seasonal nature, Eastern Sierra Transit is split into intercity and community routes. Mammoth Lakes operates multiple routes that are seasonally adjusted.
Intercity
Intercity routes are known as Route 395 routes because they operate on U.S. Route 395. These routes travel from Lancaster to Reno, Nevada.
Community routes
Community routes run with a lower frequency and act as a lifeline service.
