SUSANVILLE, Lassen County — For residents who need transportation to appointments, errands or recreation without driving, Lassen Rural Bus offers local service, including a regular city route, an express route and connections beyond Susanville.
The Lassen Transit Service Agency lists its main Susanville City Route as operating Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6:52 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 3:52 p.m. These are the times published in the agency’s route information, not a guarantee that a specific bus will arrive at a particular stop without delay.
City and express buses serve different travel needs
The agency also lists a Susanville City Express Route operating weekdays from approximately 10:37 a.m. to 4 p.m. Both routes have their own stop maps and schedules. Anyone planning an appointment should check the correct schedule for the stop and travel direction rather than using the route’s overall start and end times.
Lassen Rural Bus reports that the regular city route includes service to Susanville Ranch Park and the Honey Lake Valley Community Pool, subject to the pool being open. These destinations illustrate how public transit supports daily life beyond commuting to work.
Some stops require a pickup request
Three stops identified by the agency — Upper Rancheria, Numa & Cameron, and Susan River Apartments — are served on an on-demand basis. Riders seeking pickup at these locations should call Lassen Rural Bus at 530-252-7433 to alert the operator. Riders planning to get off at those stops should notify the driver when boarding.
This is an important distinction: being listed on a route map does not necessarily mean a vehicle will stop automatically at every location without a request.
Transfers and trip planning
The agency states that passengers transferring between Susanville city routes can request a ticket valid the same day for two hours, but that it cannot be used to ride again on the same route. Riders should verify eligibility, fares and any recent policy changes when they board.
Additional Lassen Rural Bus services include West County and South County commuter routes and seasonal service to Eagle Lake. Availability and timetables differ by route and season.
Where to confirm service
Use the Lassen Transit Service Agency website for city route schedules, route maps and trip planning. The agency’s information number is 530-252-7433. For an important appointment, confirm the return trip as well as the outbound journey.
