Sacramento Regional Transit’s ‘Gold Line’

Regional Transit 'Gold Line' light-rail train at Sunset Station

Mid-October found my family in the Sacramento area; we settled here to escape fires in Sonoma, Napa, Lake, and Mendocino counties.

While here, we rode the “Gold Line” light-rail, Sacramento Regional Transit District​.

Having previewed passenger-rail in my home community only a few months earlier (aboard Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit​), I was intrigued to make use of a mature passenger-rail system.

My impression of Sacramento Regional Transit is that it is extremely well-coordinated between light-rail and buses; we made connections within minutes between riding a train or bus.

Additionally, I was impressed by very affordable prices: $2.75 for basic adult fare or $7 for a day-long pass aboard Sacramento Regional Transit.
