Ditch the Drama, Get a SmaRT Ride: Your chariot (or should we say, shuttle) awaits in Sacramento!
Sacramento, buckle up! Tired of the bus shuffle, the endless Uber wait, or that friend who always forgets their turn on gas money? Enter SmaRT Ride, your knight in shining armor...well, maybe a brightly colored shuttle bus, but hey, it gets you there!
So, what exactly is this SmaRT Ride business?
Think Uber, but way cooler (and with way less surge pricing, we're looking at you, New Year's Eve!). SmaRT Ride is an on-demand shuttle service that operates within designated zones in Sacramento. You hail a ride through the app (or, if you're feeling old school, by phone), and a snazzy shuttle whisks you away to your desired location within the zone.
Here's the best part: Say goodbye to rigid bus routes and waiting at random corners. SmaRT Ride picks you up and drops you off practically at your doorstep (well, within a block or two, but hey, that's exercise!).
But wait, there's more! (cue the cheesy game show music)
- Multiple ways to ride: Feeling smartphone savvy? Download the app! Not a smartphone person? No worries, call them up and they'll get you booked.
- Real-time tracking: No more pacing the sidewalk like a nervous parent. See exactly where your ride is and get an estimated pick-up time.
- Adios, rush hour blues: SmaRT Ride operates weekdays, 7 am to 7 pm, so you can ditch the carpool drama and avoid the worst of the traffic.
Basically, SmaRT Ride is like having your own personal chauffeur, minus the fancy car and the hefty price tag.
How much does it cost? (Because, let's be real, that's important)
Fares are comparable to regular bus fares, so you won't break the bank. Check the SmaRT Ride website for the latest rates.
