[pct-l] Mojave Transit

The bus schedule between Bakersfield and Lancaster via Mojave is at http://www.co.kern.ca.us/roads/pdf/East_Kern_Express.pdf.
I've had good luck researching local transit by googling town or county names and the word "transit".  White's Motel in Mojave was still giving lifts to the trail as of last year.  Or you can road-hike/hitch a back road to catch the trail south of Tehachapi.  Section hiking southbound when the thru-hikers are coming thru is a good strategy - both exchanging water info, who's ahead on the trail, and just meeting a lot of cool people and knowing you're not alone out there.  If you hike with the flow, you'll run into much fewer people.
