Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding SunLine Refueled.


Expand All Collapse All


Why was SunLine Refueled necessary?

Transit Agencies are constantly finetuning their schedules and services. However, due to new technologies and to include proper outreach, it is necessary to take a "big picture" look as an Agency. This allows us to create bigger and more meaningful changes and ensures we aren't leaving certain services behind. 

What is a Consolidated Fixed Route Network?

Network consolidation is a nationwide trend of reducing the number of bus routes to increase efficiency, coverage, and convenience. That means more buses where you need them and when you need them. 

How is SunRide different from any other service?

SunRide is a microtransit service that greatly increases your access to our bus routes and your destinations. By using the app TransLoc in one of our first four service areas, you schedule a vehicle to pick you up and take you to your local bus stop or a destination in the service area along your nearby bus route.

Will the 10 Commuter Link be for business commuters only?

Not at all. In fact, two of the five stops are directly at college campuses. The Commuter Link is named to reflect its hours of operation (Weekdays during AM and PM peak travel). The commuter link is a great resource for anyone wishing to go to any destination west of the Coachella Valley. 

How can I take advantage of these new services and feel safe to ride public transportation following the COVID-19 health crisis?

SunLine recognizes the importance of cleanliness during these times and its relationship to riders feeling safe. We have implemented enhanced cleaning protocols for all of our vehicles, bus stops and facilities. Our full Ride with Confidence – Delivering Clean Transportation Inside and Out page provides details.
