Transportation:
- Lyft/Uber App – We highly recommend these car service apps for getting around town affordably
- Public transportation - We have a good number of bus lines that travel from the Downtown area to the event neighborhood of Fremont. For easy trip planning you can download a couple apps to get you around town on the bus system:
- Google Maps App – Type in where you want to go and select the departure/arrival time. You have the option to choose public transportation (little bus icon). This will tell you when and where you should catch the bus.
- OneBusAway App - This app allows you to look at the stop you need and tells you when your bus will be arriving as well as show you all the bus routes.
