The city of Fresno has reduced wait times for bus riders traveling later at night to River Park Shopping Center. The city also further extended the bus route to southeast Fresno’s Fancher Creek.

Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer said in a news release the city wants to increase access to the two shopping centers.

“These enhancements are part of our continued effort to provide safe, dependable, and efficient transit options for all Fresno residents,” Dyer said. “By reducing wait times and expanding service to key destinations, we’re making it easier for riders to get where they need to go — whether for work, school, shopping, or entertainment.”

Late Night Bus Riders Don’t Have to Wait As Long

Riders used to wait an hour between buses for Night Route 38, but now interval is 30 minutes. Stops along the Cedar Avenue route include downtown Fresno, Calwa, Edison, Roosevelt, Duncan and McLane high schools, Granite Park, Fresno State, and River Park.

The bus runs from 5:30 a.m. to midnight, including on Saturdays.

The Route 22 bus now extends to the Fancher Creek shopping center that recently celebrated openings of Target and Sprouts. The southeast/northwestward bus takes riders from Bullard and Marks avenues to the Lance Kashian-developed property by way of West Avenue and then Tulare Street.

It also has stops in the Tower District and downtown Fresno, including the Amtrak Station.
