Wheels

It’s weird that the administration office was listed but the actual customer service was not!
Wheels Bus is THE public bus system of the Tri-​Valley. The buses run through Livermore, Pleasanton, and Dublin. The fare is $ 2. It used to be $ 1.50. You can get to most parts of Livermore by bus if you don’t mind walking. When I need to get somewhere and don’t have access to a car, I use the Wheels Buses.
You have to ask for a transfer pass at the beginning of the bus. It gets you onto another bus for free. If you ask at the end, the driver can apparently refuse to give you one (at least, that’s what one of them told me). I think Cal Train also has an agreement with Wheels, too.
I wish the buses were cheaper and that the Tri-Valley’s public transportation were more efficient. When they hiked up the fee, fewer people took the buses, and you would often see these buses that were completely empty going by. So then they hiked up the fee again — and it becomes a vicious cycle of fail.
If the buses were more efficient and ran more often, with a cheaper fee, I think more people would use the buses. Davis probably has one of the best public transportation set-​ups I’ve seen in a town. Livermore could definitely take a page out of their book.
