[pct-l] Transportation (From Whitney Portal)
I know for certain that the greyhoung route that goes up and down 395
between LA and Reno was cancelled in 2001. I do not know if it has
been reinstated. This was the same route that provided transportation
between Lone Pine and LA.
This list of Greyhound stations confirms that there are no longer any
stations in:
Lone Pine
Independence
Bishop
Mammoth
Lee Vining
Stateline
