Econgrad, RT stops running at 9pm! It's very inconvenient for a lot of people, especially some of my fellow sac city friends that attend night classes.
Recently(ish), RT raised its basic fare from a buck something to $2.25 (or $2.50? I forget) and stopped offering transfer tickets (a ticket you get once you board the bus that allows you to board another bus for free). I think RT assumed this would help increase their daily income, but I feel it made things worse. I used to not mind paying $1.50/$1.75 for a bus ride plus a transfer ticket, but now I'm usually discouraged and prefer to just walk. Even San Francisco has a better bus system! $2 for a 2 hour unlimited use transfer ticket, and if you buy it late enough you get the late night ticket, which allows you to use your transfer ticket all night long on the 24 hr routes!
Get it together, Sacramento Regional Transit!
