[pct-l] CREST Bus Schedule

[campy@mtnhighwest.com (campy)]

The CREST bus is now operating between Ridgecrest and Carson City. The
name stands for Carson City - Ridgecrest Eastern Sierra Transit. It
might be useful for section hikers coming to and leaving the PCT.
Problem is, a bus runs north and one runs south from Bishop and you
can't ride all the way from, say, Lone Pine to Carson City in one day.
The Ridgecrest bus, serving Lone Pine, runs Mon, Wed, Fri and the Carson
City bus runs from Bishop on Tue, Thu, Fri, with no Fri transfer
possible between those two buses. Let's talk about the one for Bishop
and points north. Depart Bishop 201 S Warren Terminal at 7 am. Mammoth
McDonald's 7:50 am, June Lake Firehouse 8:15 am (by request only), Lee
Vining Bell's Sporting Goods 8:25, Bridgeport Texaco 8:55 am, and then
other stops until Carson City Walmart's at 10:45 am. There is a schedule
match with the PRIDE bus line which can then take you to Reno AMTRAK and
the airport. arriving there at 12:23 pm. The pm return times begin at
Carson City at 1:45 pm and arrive in Bishop at 5:30 pm on the same days,
Tue, Thu, Fri. There are flag stops (at any safe location along Hwy 395
- the bus is medium size and is mainly white in color) and also
special-request pickup locations; call 800-922-1930 for details. Fare
from Bishop to Carson City is $20, $17 for seniors, children, and
handicapped. The fare is progressively less from other stops closer to
Carson City.
