I recently got a job in Sacramento. I then looked for alternative transportation options since the overall monthly gas and parking permit costs can get expensive quickly. I then found out about the Park and Ride in Mace where I can conveniently take the Yolobus to get to work. The bus stop is right out front so I don't have to walk far to and fro.
And since I'm a UC Davis student, I just have to show my Aggie card to ride the bus for free.
I usually arrive in the lot by 7:30 and there are still plenty of spots. Note that I did read the first and only review here and had initial doubts. But so far, if you work a day job, your car should be fine. I'm guessing it gets more risky if your leave your car for extended periods of time. The lot is public and very open access anyway.
Other than that, I'm happy since I don't have to pay to park there plus getting to Sac through Yolobus for me is free and fast. read more
