Q: I don't really want to rent a car. We have 8 people in our group (4 kids) and want to leave the airport on a Saturday and return the following Saturday. Thanks
A: Well, with that many people renting a car would be the most efficient way to make the trip especially on a Saturday. If you do want to use a bus, first get into downtown Sacramento on the YoloBus which is a public transit system serving the airport and provides express service to downtown for only $1.75 per person. From there check Amador Trailways which recently had routes between Sac & S.L.Tahoe. Amtrak Thruway buses also have several daily trips between Sac & Tahoe but may require a portion of your trip be on a train in order to sell seats on the bus segment. During the week, additional transit service is possible on the El Dorado Transit system.
