Due to AT&T decommissioning the 3G cellular network, Unitrans bus predictions and real-time information is no longer available.
Predictions and bus location information is unavailable on all services including:
Unitrans staff has been working with the bus prediction vendor, Cubic, operator of Nextbus/Imo IQ, on upgrading the bus equipment however due to supply chain issues, the parts continue to be unavailable despite working for months on upgrading the system. For frequently asked questions (FAQ), click here.
Unitrans recommends customers get to their bus stops 3-5 minutes before the listed time in the bus schedule available online at unitrans.ucdavis.edu, on services like Google Maps, and in hardcopies on the bus.

D & V Lines: D line will be detoured starting November 16 for three or more months which will cause delays but not result in missed stops. The Hutchison Drive & Health Sciences Outbound/Westbound (Stop 361) bus stop is moved 150' feet east and is open.

Starting September 22, 2021, ASUCD Unitrans will continue “summer” service levels on select lines with additional night service. In addition, due to an on-going student driver shortage, service on the A and L lines will be temporarily suspended. The Yolo County Transportation District, operator of Yolobus, will temporarily assume operations on the A and L lines. Services will be restored to regular academic year levels as staffing levels improve. The following service levels may last through the 2021-22 academic year:
Suspension of the A and L lines by Unitrans
Pickup on the D, G, J, W and V lines will remain at the summer service level of two times per hour.
Pickup on the E, F, and Z lines will remain at the summer service level of one time per hour
Pickup on the B, C, K, M, P, and Q lines will be two times per hour using the “regular” service schedule
Additional service compared to summer service levels after 8:10 PM on Monday-Thursday will operate on the D, E, J, V, W, and Z lines
The Yolo County Transportation District, operator of Yolobus, will assume operations of the A and L lines in coordination with the City of Davis, using the same letter designations as Unitrans and following the same academic year schedule for the A line and a “summer” service schedule for the L line. To make the transition to Yolobus as easy as possible for customers, Yolobus operated A and L lines will accept all Unitrans passes including the UC Davis undergraduate registration card as valid fare and will charge the local cash fare of $1.25 per ride. A and L lines will operate from the Silo Bus Terminal. The A line will operate the same academic year schedule that Unitrans operated with two times per hour and the L line will operate one time per hour (continuing the “summer” service level). For more information, go to Yolobus.com. Real-time predictions are available at avl.yctd.org.
Unitrans expects crowding on the A, E, D, F, G, J, L, W, V, and Z lines. Students should plan to take bus trips arriving 30 minutes before morning classes start to provide ample time to get to campus. If staffing levels permit, Unitrans plans to follow the regularly scheduled buses with higher capacity buses to serve riders in the morning when many classes start.
Face coverings are required to ride Unitrans through at least January 18, 2022, by federal law. Please be patient with the bus service and try to take an earlier morning trip to campus if possible.
Due to the Unitrans driver shortage, Unitrans will reduce service from Monday, September 13 to Tuesday, September 21. All service will operate to/from the Memorial Union Terminal only. No Unitrans buses will serve the Silo Terminal until fall quarter starts on Wednesday, September 22. We're hiring drivers! If you're interested, click here for more info!
