Vallejo Transit

Vallejo Transit or VT is a public transportation service in Solano County, California.

Services

VT provides local, express, and school bus service to the Solano County cities of Vallejo and Fairfield. It also provides express bus service to Contra Costa County, allowing connection to the regional Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) rail system. Service operates to the El Cerrito del Norte station in El Cerrito.

VT provides ferry service south across San Pablo Bay and San Francisco Bay to San Francisco's Ferry Building. All VT ferry services operate from the Vallejo Ferry Terminal in downtown Vallejo.

VT provides a bus service for physically disabled customers, offering pick-up-from-home busing called the Vallejo Runabout.

VT markets its inter-city express buses and ferries as Baylink while local buses are marketed as Vallejo Transit.

Vehicles

Local buses consist of Gillig Phantoms and Orion V High Floors, painted white with a wavy blue gradient which blends into the logo on the front end of the bus. Supplemental school routes use TMC 102-A3s. Baylink buses are MCI D-4500 buses, painted white with a wave shaped stripe separating a graphic of the San Francisco skyline on rear and the Baylink logo on the front, or wrapped in advertising. All buses on both Vallejo Transit and Baylink are wheelchair accessible.

Routes

Baylink Ferry

As of July 1, 2007, ten routes run along the system. The first seven are branded as Vallejo Transit and run entirely in the city of Vallejo. Three of them are east-west routes which loop in opposite directions of each other. For example; Route 5 loops along the central and eastern parts of town in a clockwise direction. Three of the routes are north-south intercity routes branded as Baylink. Route 80 travels south from Vallejo into Contra Costa County, arriving at El Cerrito Del Norte, then returns to Vallejo. Route 85 travels north from Vallejo into Fairfield, first to Solano Community College then Solano Mall before reversing its path. Route 200 travels between Vallejo and San Francisco.

In October 2007, State of California legislation (SB 976) initiated a State acquisition of Baylink service, which would be overseen by the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority.
