Route 30 connects Sacramento and Davis with Fairfield and Route 90 connects Fairfield with the "El Cerrito Del Norte" BART station. As of 7/11/08, fares from Sacramento and Davis to the BART station are $10.50 and $9.50, respectively. You may pay the full amount when you first board the bus and you will receive a transfer. There are also monthly and 10-ride passes available. Bicycles are allowed on Route 30, but NOT on route 90. Bicyclists may choose to take route 30 to Vacaville (or arrive in Vacaville by other means, such as Yolobus). In Vacaville you can catch Route 40 (also Fairfield Suisun Transit) which will take you to the Pleasant Hill and the Walnut Creek BART stations. Please be aware that each bus can only accommodate 2 bikes in the front rack. The bike policy and fare structure are printed on all of the route [http://www.ci.fairfield.ca.us/busroutes.htm schedules].
