Bear Transit
Bear Transit is the bus service operated by the Department of Parking and Transportation of the University of California, Berkeley. Its fleet includes a combination of shuttle vans and passenger buses (22', 35', and 40' cutaway buses), provided by MV Transit.
Prior to 2017, all of its passenger buses formerly owned by AC Transit. In the early 2000s the passenger buses used were refurbished by AC Transit.
Bear Transit connects various areas of the university, including student housing, the main campus, the Hill area, Downtown Berkeley (including Berkeley BART), and distant locations such as Lawrence Hall of Science in the East Bay Hills and the Clark Kerr Campus south of the main campus.
Daytime (Operates weekdays only)
Nighttime (Operates seven days a week)
Pandemic related changes
In 2020, due to the pandemic, low ridership and high operating costs, service to the Richmond Field Station (RFS), a research facility also owned by the University, located in Richmond, was eliminated.
In 2020, due to the pandemic, Campus Shared Services, an employee-only shuttle which served North Berkeley BART and an offsite facility in the 4th Street District of Berkeley, was suspended.
