Your fare will depend on the number of zones through which you travel, and which category of rider you are. A trip from Santa Rosa to Petaluma on Route 44 or Route 48 is a 2 zone trip. Fares on routes described as “local” service require a local (1-zone) fare. Tranfers are valid for three hours. See below for additional information on transfer fares.
Once you’ve paid to board one Sonoma County Transit bus, you can transfer to any other bus we run for free for up to three hours of a one-way trip. When you board the first bus, pay its full fare, state your destination and ask the driver for a transfer slip.
