The holiday season is shining bright in Sacramento with the unveiling of the 2025 Holiday Bus by Sacramento Regional Transit, and no, it’s not just any bus! This festive ride is all about joy and giving, as it provides free transportation through January 2 while supporting local foster youth. Partnering with Stanford Sierra Youth and Families, this initiative aims to uplift over 2,800 kids in need, mainly teenagers, who often get overlooked during the holiday rush.
Passengers can hop on board for their ride without paying a fare, but there’s an opportunity to donate to this worthwhile cause. Donations collected will go directly to programs helping foster youth, making this experience all about community spirit. And let’s not forget the“Stuff the Bus”event happening on December 6 at the Sunrise Light Rail station, where everyone can bring unwrapped gifts for these kids. It’s a simple act that can put huge smiles on their faces!
Mark your calendars because the Holiday Bus won’t be just sitting pretty. It’ll also be making a grand appearance in the Santa Parade around Capitol Park on December 13. So, whether you’re planning to ride, donate, or both, this holiday bus is serving up warmth and goodwill. And honestly, who doesn’t want to hop on a bus that’s spreading holiday cheer? No Grinchiness allowed!
