The system is almost entirely operated by the students of the University, including the drivers, supervisors and managers. Our fleet of buses includes 6 historic British RT double-deckers and 43 single-deck transit buses. Normal daily ridership is over 20,000 passengers on our 17 routes (during the regular school year), with an annual ridership of greater than 3,500,000 passenger-trips. Buses run from 7:00am to 11:30pm (double-deckers run until 7:00pm) ensuring maximum advertising exposure to the student population and community of Davis. Our routes serve the Downtown area and all major apartment and student living areas, running throughout the entire city. Advertising space is available on the interior of the single-deck buses and the exterior of the double-deck buses. Available space can be purchased per academic year, with current advertisers having first priority for renewal of their contracts. Any available space will be contracted to potential customers according to the order of a waiting list.
