Public Transit

Transit is relaxing and reliable. Onboard the bus you'll have time to read, daydream, or catch up on sleep.  Some buses even provide a wireless Internet connection!  Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) provides bus service in Monterey County.  See the MST website for schedule and fare information or request a printed bus schedule from Commute Alternatives.  MST also offers group pass discounts up to 35%!

 

Is Transit Right for You?

To determine if public transit is right for your commute, consider the following:
  • Is there scheduled service that works for you?
  • How much will it cost you to ride transit to work? Calculate the costs of commuting on your own.
For answers to these and other questions, download our Transit brochure.
