Visitors can ride Yosemite Area Regional Transportation System (YARTS) buses from gateway communities outside the park into Yosemite Valley. YARTS buses also connect with Amtrak and Greyhound service in Merced.

Amtrak provides a combination of train and bus service to Yosemite Valley.

Shuttle bus service is available within some (but not all) areas of the park.

• Yosemite Valley (free shuttle service in eastern Yosemite Valley)
• Glacier Point (late May/June through October via fee-based bus)
• Badger Pass (mid December through mid March via free shuttle)
